Solid Defense and has Power

[Nick]

Good stats in the ACC. Definitely seems like we're in savings mode, think we're saving for a HS pitcher?

They certainly seem intent on adding power to the organization.

More likely for multiple players later. Slot is 522K and as senior u can offer anything from 10K to 522K

He’s a senior but is actually around the same age as JJ Bleday.

Edwards turns 22 June 21. Long as these "older" guys are in Jupiter next year I have no issues with this. Now if Edwards/Burdick are in Clinton or Ex ST I would be pissed

Senior first baseman Evan Edwards was selected as the No. 11 pick in the fourth round to the Miami Marlins in the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft on Tuesday afternoon.
The Greensboro, N.C., native is the second Wolfpack player to get drafted this week behind first-rounder Will Wilson. A 2019 All-ACC Third Team selection, he spent his final two seasons of in Raleigh after playing two years at USC Lancaster.

Edwards was one of two players in the nation this year to have started every game for his team and not commit an error, joining Cincinnati's Jeremy Johnston. He also held a 35-game reached base safely streak and reached in 57 of a possible 61.

He led the team with 60 runs batted in, 51 walks and a .455 on-base percentage, and finished second in batting average (.330), runs scored (59), hits (76), doubles (17), home runs (14), total bases (139) and slugging percentage (.604). Additionally, he ranks among the top 15 in the Atlantic Coast Conference in all 10 offensive categories.

With the selection, head coach Elliott Avent (23rd season) has had 107 MLB Draft picks. Under his tutelage, this is the second time NC State has had at least two players drafted in the first four rounds in the same year. The last time was in 2014 with Carlos Rodon (1st), Trea Turner (1st) and Brett Austin (4th).

Here's what Baseball America had to say about Edwards as a draft prospect:

"A priority senior sign, Edwards is a 6-foot, 200-pound first baseman with power. ... Edwards moves well around the bag at first base and is a sound defensive presence on the infield."
