Edwards showed up at the Preseason All-State with a ripped musculature and put together build after a stellar 2023 season, where he led all of 6A in OBP at .614 with a BA of .424. The West Coast Games alum put up a 6.94/60 with an EV of 102.7 and has established himself as one of the TOP Uncommitted bats in the state! As he hit shot after shot high and deep, the 5-9 180 Lb compact strong athlete, maxed out with a shot of 386’ to deep LF in BP. College’s who jump on this kid, are getting a hitter with zone recognition and plate discipline, couple with latent game power, that shows up in BP and with proper instruction and time, it will show up in games as game power is the last tool to develop…the raw power is a now tool and is waiting to come out, as he is a hit over power at this point and that’s what a school should want?! Oozing with confidence and some swagger, I’d take him now if I was recruiting him!

A small compact build with chiseled features and definitely put together from the weight room and it has really helped his game and is very noticeable. Athletic and twitchy with solid baseball movement patterns. After a big 2023, I expect even more from this kid. An under the radar type, that is quiet and needs to market himself better, because this kid can play. A strong pound for pound type that led 6A in OB% at .614 and was hit by 19 pitches, as he crowds the plate. Uses an even prop shoulder width stance, with his barrel tipped to the pitcher. Gets to a solid load to launch the hands inside the baseball and releases the barrel with bat speed and natural strength to impact the baseball. Exit velos consistently in workouts of over 100 mph and was 3rd at the WCG’s with a 90 mph arm from the OF. Shows big tools for his size, with the exit velo, arm strength and 60 times of 6.88-6.94. Didn’t get much to hit during the WCG’s, yet didn’t give in to chasing or trying to get out of his approach and was hit by a pitch and walked 6-7 times. Can drive the ball out of the park in all directions, but looks to hit low LD’s, instead of lifting, which as he gets older and understands his game more, look for some consistent pull and straight away power numbers, as the base metrics and eye test of the swing and barrel consistency are there.

An athletic looking med framed build with a defined lower ½ and shows twitch to his gate, along with solid movement patterns. Should take over a varsity OF spot as a junior this spring, and based off a quick showcase look, one would think that based on the impact of the bat, running ability and arm strength, he should play a heavy factor in Mountain Ridge’s potential success. Displaying a classic even prop square stance, with an ease to his load and an online approach to the baseball, the swing has the ingredients, along with the hand/bat speeds of 24.1 and 81.5 on Blast Motion, to create an EV of 100.4, which was one of two players to post 100 or better. Edwards also turned in an event best 6.88/60 and displayed a max arm velo of 87 from the OF. He does need to get better extension out front and create more air and carry through his target. It was fun to get a look at this young man and will definitely be following his progress this coming spring.
