He compiled 39 hits, which was second most among UIC players, and was tops with 34 singles and second with a pair of triples. Kuehl racked up 48 total bases over 30 games and ranked third in the UIC and second for MFL MarMac with 25 steals. He also scored 37 runs—third most in the conference—and totaled 20 RBIs.
While not playing center field, Kuehl pitched 41 and one-third innings over nine games, mostly as a starter. His 4-1 win total was tied for sixth in the UIC, and he was also in the top 10 with a 1.86 ERA, while holding opponents to a .199 average. Kuehl’s 54 strikeouts were fourth most among conference players.
