PBR: Who do you play for in the summer and what was the most memorable experience from this summer?

PBR:  What person has the great impact on your baseball career and why?

Kreuzer: My parents have had the biggest impact on my baseball career.  They put a ton of time and effort into making me the player and person I am today.  They are always supportive of me and taught me to learn from both my high and low points in life. 

PBR: Who is the toughest hitter that you have face?

Kreuzer: The toughest hitters I have faced in my career would have to be the Ohio Surge baseball team and my Warhawk teammates.
