==Professional career==
===Oakland Athletics===
Krol was drafted by the [[Oakland Athletics]] in the seventh round of the [[2009 Major League Baseball Draft]] out of [[Neuqua Valley High School]] in [[Naperville, Illinois]].<ref name="B Ref">{{cite web |title=Ian Krol Stats |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/krolia01.shtml |website=Baseball-Reference.com |publisher=Sports-Reference.com |access-date=June 11, 2018}}</ref> He was selected despite not pitching in his senior year due to being suspended for the entire season for an alcohol-related offense, his second violation of the district athletic code of conduct (his first violation, in his junior year, led to a seven-game suspension).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/highschool/baseball/chi-090328-ian-krol-neuqua-valley-suspended,0,7532060.story |title=Neuqua Valley pitcher Ian Krol suspended for season |work=Chicago Tribune |first=Matt |last=Lynch |date=March 28, 2009}}</ref><ref>[http://prev.dailyherald.com/story/?id=282373 Neuqua Valley loses Ian Krol for season - Daily Herald<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
After missing time due to an elbow injury, Krol made his professional debut on August 27, starting for the [[AZL Athletics]]. After that, he made three appearances (one start) with the Low-A [[Vancouver Canadians]]. Krol played most of 2010 with Single-A [[Kane County Cougars]], where in 24 games (23 starts), he went 9–4 with a 2.65 ERA, striking out 91 in 118{{frac|2|3}} innings, and was a mid and post-season all-star. He also made four starts for High-A [[Stockton Ports|Stockton]] at the end of the year, going 1–0. Krol missed the first three months with an elbow injury, and was pitching in a rehab assignment in the Arizona League before he was suspended for the rest of the season—more than two months—for a [[Twitter|tweet]] that included a graphic "gay slur along with some other offensive language".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/10/as-suspend-top-pitching-prospect-ian-krol-for-tweet/ |title=A's suspend top pitching prospect Ian Krol for tweet |work=NBC Sports |first=Matthew |last=Pouliot |date=July 10, 2011}}</ref><ref>[http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Ian-Krol-says-he-s-matured-since-slur-suspension-3357288.php Ian Krol says he's matured since slur suspension - SFGate<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://larrybrownsports.com/baseball/as-prospect-ian-krol-suspended-for-offensive-tweet-involving-gay-slur/76657 A's Prospect Ian Krol Suspended for Offensive Tweet Involving Gay Slur | Larry Brown Sports<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
