Gajewski on Quentel: "Hunter has an elite bat. She's been one of the top players in Texas the last couple of years and won a state title both in the circle and with her bat. She generates more bat speed than anybody I've ever seen. Just a tremendous, tremendous competitor who has the will to win. She has that relentless mentality that we've been looking for, and I think that runs through this whole class. I think we'll see that in Hunter very quickly."
