draft-bound Gophers righty with a starter’s polish
In the 2026 season, Marcus Kruzan emerged as a reliable weekend starter for Minnesota, going 4-5 with a 4.10 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 54.4 innings before being selected by the Brewers in the 12th round of the 2026 MLB Draft. He stands out for his strike-throwing, starter’s workload, and steady three-pitch mix that helped him turn a strong transfer season into pro interest. If your staff wants a right-hander who competes, fills innings, and keeps games on schedule, he’s a real fit.
