Pitching stats not currently available.

1997
August 9 (Section 3B Playoffs) - Chaska 4 @ BP 5

Why Mgr. "Hot Dog" Miller gave Kruschke the ball that day is anyone's guess... but it worked.

1991-1996 (& other general highlights)
* 1991 State Tournament - warmed up in bullpen even though never told to.
* Beat Hampton for first town team win, on June 12, 1992. Not that it was rare but Kruschke still issues yearly reminders of this happening.
* General memories of being constantly encouraged by teammates to "just throw strikes."
* Kruschke keeps fresh in-between sporadic bi-yearly appearances by regularly throwing batting practice, with the goal of getting the hitter out - not throw him some lollipop pitch so he can get his timing down for the game.
