Edwards is a hold — league-average skill, contact that won't scare anyone

His expected wOBA is .311, four points under the league average of .315, and he has 595 plate appearances behind it, so the number is settled. What that skill looks like is unusual: an 86.8 mph average exit velocity and a 28.4% hard-hit rate, both well below league, with a 3.2% barrel rate to match. The bat does not scare anyone. His actual wOBA of .325 sits a bit above the expected figure, and that gap traces to a .320 BABIP against a .295 league average — 444 balls in play against the 800 BABIP needs to be reliable. Some of that average will come back. The expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample. The one thing that has held is his command of the zone: a 13.9% strikeout rate and 11.4% walk rate. Average skill, average line, nothing pulling either way. Hold. With a 0 HR / 0 SB ROS line, this is a drop-tier hold — a deep-league streamer at best, not a counting-stat asset.
