Career
Vodnik grew up in Rialto, California and attended Rialto High School. He stopped playing football at the end of his sophomore year of high school, choosing to focus on baseball.[1] As a senior, he had a 5–4 record with a 2.84 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 49 innings pitched.[citation needed]
Atlanta Braves
Vodnik was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 14th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft, and joined the Braves organization for a signing bonus of $200,000. He was assigned to the Rookie League Gulf Coast League Braves after signing with the team. Vodnik spent the 2019 season with the Class A Rome Braves and made 23 appearances with three starts, compiling a 1–3 record and three saves with a 2.94 ERA and 69 strikeouts over 67+1⁄3 innings pitched. After the 2020 minor league season was canceled due to COVID-19, he was added to Atlanta's alternate training site on September 3, 2020. Vodnik was assigned to the Mississippi Braves of the Double-A South, where he made 11 starts and had a 5.35 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 33+2⁄3 innings pitched while missing time due to injury. After the minor league season ended Vodnik joined the Peoria Javelinas of the Arizona Fall League. After pitching for Mississippi in May 2022, Vodnik was promoted to the Gwinnett Stripers later that month.[citation needed]

On July 24, 2023, Vodnik, alongside Tanner Gordon, was traded to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for Pierce Johnson.[2] He registered a 7.71 ERA across 8 appearances for the Triple–A Albuquerque Isotopes, as well as 4 scoreless appearances for the Double–A Hartford Yard Goats prior to his promotion.[3] On September 8, Colorado selected Vodnik's contract to the 40-man roster and promoted him to the major leagues for the first time.[4]
