Cron and James Brooks finished first and second in the MWC in 2011 in batting average, while Cron led the nation in slugging percentage. In 2012, Brooks was second in the Pac-12 in doubles, tied for fifth in home runs and ranked in the top 10 in the conference in slugging percentage.

In addition, the team fielded at a .971 clip.
