Rangers Prospect Look-In: Jon Edwards
A former draft pick as an outfielder out of local Keller, TX, Edwards failed to hit in his four-and-a-bit years in the St. Louis Cardinals system, ending up in the Pecos and North American independent leagues. Though many baseball careers end there, the Rangers saw something they liked in the 6’5” right-hander, signing him in 2012 with the chance to reinvent himself as a pitcher. Edwards’ two pitches are a fastball that usually sits 92-95 and a hard slider, which shows sharp break when it is at its best.
