Kulus Signs with Dana College

 

BLAIR, NE – Danny Kulus, a senior utility player from Omaha Roncalli High School, has signed a national letter of intent with Dana College. He will begin school and fall practice with the Vikings’ baseball team in August. Kulus, a 6-foot, 190-pound right-hander who normally plays first base, is hitting .390 this spring while batting in the three-hole for the Crimson Pride. He has driven in 12 runs with 12 singles, four doubles and a home run in 13 games. His slugging percentage is .537 and he has an on-base percentage of .457.

 

“Nobody leaves more on the baseball field than Danny Kulus,” Roncalli coach Tom Kupfer said. “He has a knack for making big plays, getting big hits, and doing whatever is necessary to help his team win. That can mean offering his shoulder to an inside fastball or giving up his body to stop a sharply hit baseball. Whatever it takes, Danny Kulus delivers.”

 

Kupfer added that, “The kid has intangible qualities. He is confident, and he wants the bat in his hands in big situations.”

 

Dana head coach Ken Misfeldt is definitely excited to know that Kulus will be in a Dana uniform next fall.

 

“I’ve known Danny for about three years now,” Dana head baseball coach Ken Misfeldt said. “Needless to say, I am thrilled to know that he will be knocking in some runs for us next year. Danny is a tough kid who can play anywhere, including on the mound, and he’s not the type of kid who will be intimidated by any opponent.”

 

Kulus, the son of Greg and Jo Kulus, will be majoring in secondary education at Dana.

 

Coach Misfeldt is in his second season at the helm of the Viking baseball program.  Last year, Dana was 10-34.  Dana College is a private, Lutheran college located in Blair, Nebraska.  They participate in the Great Plaines Athletic Conference and a member of the NAIA.  Dana College is a place where all students actively participate.
