2024 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards made his MLB debut in May but didn't receive notable playing time until he was recalled by Miami in September. In total he accrued just 84 plate appearances but showcased his contact and speed potential with a .295 average, 16.7 percent strikeout rate and five steals. He delivered an impressive campaign at Triple-A Jacksonville with seven homers, 32 steals and a .349/.427/.454 slash line, which was a marked improvement on his Double-A performance in 2022. The 24-year-old isn't likely to have a starting job Opening Day in 2024, but he should be able to make the roster out of spring training. Edwards offers fantasy managers speed and a potentially high average, but he'll need to have a regular role in order to be a feasible option. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
2019
A supplemental first-round pick in 2018, Edwards was considered the fastest player in his draft class at the time. There were questions about his bat, however, in particular about the pop. Those concerns have been validated as Edwards has struggled to hit for even gap power in the professional ranks. This past season saw an improvement in that area -- Edwards cracked a .100 ISO for the first time at any pro stop -- but he had to add a lot of swing and miss (18.8 K%) to get the modest bump. Edwards has been traded twice already, which is not a good sign. The Marlins figure to give Edwards his first look in the majors in 2023 since he's on the 40-man roster, but he will likely begin the season back at Triple-A barring multiple injuries in front of him. Ideally, the infielder will trim his strikeout rate back down while tapping into even more extra-base power. Until Edwards shows he can hold his own upper-level pitching, he should be considered a speed-only play.
