DICKINSON, N.D. (KFYR) – Dickinson High School senior Kyler Kudrna announced his commitment to play college baseball at North Dakota State University on Thursday. Kudrna, a senior for the Mavericks, will pitch for the Bison next year.
Kudrna is the top player in North Dakota and South Dakota’s Class of 2026, according to Prep Baseball Report.
“I’m excited because they’ve got a really good program,” Kudrna said. “Obviously, last year they made it to the regional, and they have a lot of success over there. I’m just excited to be in a successful program like that.”
Kudrna was named to the Class A All-State team last season as a junior and was an All-WDA selection. Dickinson finished the season 19-13.
There are currently no Western North Dakota natives on the Bison roster. Kudrna will join a fraternity of WDA players that have recently gone on to pitch for the Bison, including Century’s Skyler Riedinger and Cade Feeney, and Mandan’s Parker Harm.
