"We're excited about Matt Cross. He's finally somewhere it kind of matters. But we're as enthused, if not more, by his approach. He's learning to be a professional. He's taking care of himself, which was a concern. He was a young guy who didn't know how that works. He had to figure some things out. He's shown tremendous improvement in that area. He has the chance to someday be a leader, a guy you can count on. He's a quality young man and some of that is starting to show. On the field, his bat is what it is. It's as high a ceiling as a young guy can have." -- Ron Tuggnut – Director of Softball Analytics
