Watten on Klein: "Lindsay has worked extremely hard in the off-season to perfect and fine-tune her pitches after spending the first three seasons of her college career playing first base and anchoring the offensive attack. She will add depth and variety to our rotation on the mound as Lindsay possesses a great amount of movement and variety in her pitches. Due to playing most of her college career at first base, Lindsay has developed into a great defensive pitcher as well. She is one of the best defensive players/first basemen in the game as well as being a sound leader both on and off the field. Lindsay continues to be one of the biggest threats in our offensive lineup and has proven to be a clutch player on both sides of the field."
