AT BRADLEY (2015-18)
A four-year member of the Bradley Baseball team, Kristan helped the Braves to the 2015 NCAA Louisville Regional as a reserve catcher and platoon DH ....

Enjoyed a career-best, 12-game hitting streak Feb. 19-March 17, 2017 and added another 10-game streak April 8-23, 2017 ... Took over as Bradley's primary catcher in 2016, batting .292 with a home run and 20 RBI's in 40 games as a sophomore ... Was 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a walk in the 2015 MVC Tournament opener against Evansville helping the Braves to the 9-2 win ... Hit safely in all four 2016 MVC Tournament games, going 6-for-14 (.429) with three RBI's, helping the Braves reach "Championship Saturday" for the second year in a row ... A hip injury prevented him from playing in the field as a senior, but he hit .250 with three home runs and 10 RBI's in his limited hitting role, while mentoring freshman catcher Keaton Rice.
