Primarily a steelworker, he had a reputation as a "troublemaker." He was in spring training with the Washington Senators in 1895 and pitched in an exhibition game with Varney Anderson but did not make the team.[2] Krumm walked ten batters during his first game with the Alleghenys.[1] He stayed with the team until July but never pitched again.[1]

He was born in Pennsylvania and died in San Diego, California.
