In 1988, he went 6-7 in 16 games and led the team with a 2.19 ERA and 102 innings pitched. Krol also led the MAC in strikeouts that year with 90.

He still ranks among the top 10 at UT in seven statistical categories. Krol graduated from UT magna cum laude and went on to play for the Minnesota Twins organization for three years. He later earned his medical degree at Yale, and currently is on the faculty at Columbia University.
