3B Cole Edwards (2023) is another sophomore that is leading the way offensively for a successful 7A Jaguars team. Standing out physically and not looking like a sophomore, Edwards boasts a strong, athletic 6-3, 195 pound frame. Didn’t show up much on the stat sheet during this contest, but made solid contact in a couple of his at-bats with nothing to show for. Facing an SEC arm, Edwards showed no trouble handling some velocity by lining a fastball back up the middle, but was the victim of a diving play by the center fielder in the 4th. Stays connected throughout his swing and impacts the baseball at a high level. Going to be interesting to see how he progresses as a prospect over the next 2 ½ years.
