Alex Kranzler Pronunciation
Head coach Tim Corbin on Kranzler: “Alex is an attacker in every sense of the word—he attacks everything he goes after. Alex is serious, motivated, and continually working, with a genuine love for the craft of pitching. He has been dependable for us since the moment he arrived on campus and was one of our most consistent pitchers last season, serving in nearly every conceivable role. He finished second on the team in appearances, led the staff in wins, and ranked third in saves. Alex works quickly, fills up the strike zone, and consistently throws strikes, evidenced by his single-digit walk total. He is reliable, and you always know what you are getting when he takes the mound. Highly competitive, he leads in all areas. Alex stayed on campus all summer and continued to be one of our best weight-room and fitness athletes. He has also been an honor roll student throughout his entire career.”
