Hi! My name is Andrea Kruczkowski, but please call me Andie! I’m originally from Austin, Texas, though I’ve called a few different places “home” over the years. I attended the University of Arizona, where I got my start in the sports industry with the Pac-12 Network and Arizona Athletics, and later graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Journalism, concentrating in Public Relations and Sports Media.

Since then, I’ve navigated life across Minor League Baseball alongside my husband, Brennan, wearing just about every hat imaginable. Most notably, I served as a Social Media Coordinator in the Houston Astros organization for their Single-A Affiliate, the Fayetteville (N.C.) Woodpeckers. These experiences through MiLB sharpened my voice, expanded my perspective, and fueled my drive to keep growing in the world of sports media. I hold a Google Analytics Certification and plan to broaden my education even further in the near future.

Currently, I am the Social Media Manager for Little League International. In this role, I get to celebrate young athletes, highlight community stories, and craft digital experiences that make everyone feel like they’re part of the game. I work closely with nearly every department to ensure our digital presence reflects the heart, history, and excitement of Little League Baseball and Softball, along with the core values that make this organization so special.

Once Regional Tournaments begin, my role expands as I help oversee a Social Media Intern and a team of Residents from Syracuse, Hampton, and Penn State Universities. Together, we produce highlights for more than 300 games throughout the tournament season, turning those moments into engaging social media content that brings the Little League experience to life!

From a young age, I’ve always loved baseball! My mornings before school were spent diving into the sports section of the Austin American Statesman. As a passionate and multi-generational fan of the New York Yankees, I relied on the newspaper to bring each thrilling moment of the game to life. I am incredibly lucky to have visited more than half of MLB ballparks, including having my first (unofficial) date with my husband at a gala in Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres.

Away from the many trends and what’s happenings across social media, you can spot me spending time outdoors and experimenting in the kitchen, or worse comes to worse, you can always find me at the ballpark.
