HCC Sports Information

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

Former Hutchinson Blue Dragon baseball player Noah Krol has been tapped the No. 8 Summer League prospect in Baseball America’s Summer League Top 10 Prospects.

BA writer Will Kimmey ranked Krol, a current Wichita State University player who was a mainstay on HCC’s 2005 Region VI championship team that played in the NJCAA World Series.

Krol pitched and played shortstop for the El Dorado Broncos this past summer. According to Kimmey, Krol’s use as a closer was a big reason for the ranking. Krol ranked second in the Jayhawk League in saves with seven. He had 17 strikeouts in 12 innings. He allowed eight hits five walks the three runs for El Dorado, featuring a big-breaking power slider that touched 80 mph.

Krol, a Class 4A all-stater from Nickerson, played in 53 games for Wichita State last season, starting in 50. He hit .247 with two home runs and 20 RBIs and a .362 on-base percentage.

As a Shocker pitcher, Krol appeared in 18 games, all in relief. He had a 0-1 record with a 2.95 ERA. In 21 1-3 innings, Krol struck out 20 and walked five, allowing 24 hits.

In two seasons with the Blue Dragons (2003-05), Krol had a career .323 batting average, including .345 in his sophomore season. He had 16 career home runs and 69 career RBIs. In leading the Blue Dragons to the 2005 NJCAA World Series, Krol had 12 home runs and 50 RBIs, with a slugging percentage of .446. As a pitcher in 2005, Krol stepped into the starting rotation midway through the season to post a 4-2 record with a 3.43 ERA.
