Kerrington Cross is the second college position player selected by the Padres this year. Cross is another fifth-year senior who recently turned 23. He had a big year for the Bearcats as he won the Big 12 Player of the Year award behind a .396/.526/.647 slash line and 12 home runs. 

A little undersized for a corner infielder at his age, Cross still stands out as a potential power threat at the next level. He has power to all fields, and his swing tailored for loft certainly helps him access his game power. The hit tool has shown enough promise that you have to feel good about him potentially reaching his offensive ceiling if given the right platform to do so. There's enough athleticism here for him to potentially stick on the dirt as an average defender.
