View Draft Report
Edgerton has been a statistical monster at the Division II level and could pique the interest of an analytics-driven team, though he has baseball tools to support his performance. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder has an athletic, defined build with room to get stronger and he is young for the college class, turning 21 in the fall. Hitting in a favorable home ballpark, he batted .369/.429/.608 with 31 extra-base hits. He looks to drive balls on the inner half with a pull-oriented stroke, and the ball jumps off his bat. Despite a big cut and power, Edgerton has hand-eye coordination and bat-to-ball skills. He struck out in just 3.6 percent of his plate appearances, with a 2.4 walk-strikeout ratio. Currently a third baseman with an average arm and solid hands, he will likely move to an outfield corner, and some teams have discussed the possibility of moving behind the plate. He is an aggressive baserunner who stole 13 bases despite below-average speed. Edgerton will be busy leading up to the draft with predraft workouts.
