Boy has this guy come out of nowhere.
Jonathan Edwards, a 15th round draft pick in 1967, is off to the best start of any Pittsburgh starting pitcher this year, and better than most any pitcher in the SJL.
Granted, Edwards had a good deal of success in the minors in 1971, being named the Pitcher of the Month three times during the season. But that was at AA. He came into this season just outside of the Top 100 Prospects list at #101. Most scouts seem to perceive him as a middle of the rotation starter at best but more likely a back-end of the rotation guy. And 5 starts is hardly enough to form any great judgments upon, but still, it's a fine start for the kid.
Now about that Wild Man nickname. Ironic, perhaps? After all, we are talking about a guy whose best quality as a pitcher (other than a plus plus slider) is his very fine control.
