Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Xavier Edwards emerged as a dynamic contributor for the Miami Marlins in 2024, boasting a .328 batting average over 265 at-bats, with 1 home run, 26 RBIs, 39 runs scored, and an impressive 31 stolen bases. While his .398 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) suggests potential regression, Edwards' consistent hard contact and speed may help sustain a high average. His low 1.4% barrel rate and 23.0% fly-ball rate indicate limited home run potential, but his ability to spray the ball to all fields and capitalize on his speed should continue to yield extra-base hits. If Edwards maintains his contact rate and on-base skills, he could be a valuable asset for runs scored and stolen bases.
