Michael Aloysius "Mike" Kozicky (born January 13, 1889 in Glen Lyon, Pennsylvania - died July 9, 1971 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) was a major league baseball player and scout and a minor league manager.
Konnick had a very brief major league career with the Cincinnati Reds. During the 1909 season, he was called up for two games and was used as a catcher. In the 1910 campaign, he saw action in a single game as a shortstop. In total, Konnick had two hits in eight at bats for the major league club with a double, an RBI and a walk.
Konnick had a long minor league career with his best seasons coming at Reading. Playing first base for the Reading Coal Barons of the International League in 1919, he had a .335 batting average for the season. The newly renamed Reading Marines of 1920 were helped by Konnick's stellar campaign. Now playing as a catcher, he hit .336 with 94 runs, 33 doubles, 11 triples, 22 homers and a .575 slugging percentage.
Konnick did some managing later in his minor league career including stints with the Virginia League Kinston Eagles and the New York-Penn League Binghamton Triplets.
Konnick was a scout for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1961 to 1971.
