James Louis Kremmel (February 28, 1949 – October 12, 2012) was an American left-handed pitcher who spent two seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the Texas Rangers (1973) and Chicago Cubs (1974).

[2] A four-year letterman on the Lobos baseball team, he threw the only documented nine-inning no-hitter in school history in a 1–0 win over Arizona in Tucson on April 17, 1970.

He had matched the school record for most strikeouts in a single game with 18 against Eastern New Mexico University less than three weeks earlier on March 30, 1970.

[4] He was originally picked by the Cleveland Indians in the seventh round (146th overall) of the 1970 MLB draft,[5] but chose not to sign.

Selected ninth overall by the Washington Senators in the secondary phase of the January Free Agent Amateur Draft in 1971,[6] he signed with the ballclub four months later on May 24.
