wmbfnews. - Francis Marion University senior southpaw Josh Edgin was chosen by the New York Mets in the 30th round of Major League Baseball's 2010 First-Year Player Draft. Edgin was the seventh selection in the 30th round (No. 902). Following his junior campaign, Edgin was drafted by the Braves in the 50th round of the 2009 draft, but chose to return to Francis Marion for his senior season. Edgin, a native of Three Springs, PA, was 6-4 this past season with a 4.07 earned run average. The 6 foot 2 inch, 225-pound left-hander made 13 starts with two complete games and 65 strikeouts in 84 innings, all team highs. In his first season at FMU (2009), he posted a 4-2 mark with a 4.04 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 69 innings.
He reported immediately to Kingsport after signing and posted an impressive 0-1, 2.84 in 18 appearances. More importantly, he struck out 46 batters in 34.2-IP.
He was promoted near the end of the season to Savannah, where he went 0-0, 0.00 in two games.
9-20-10: - 2011 Forecast: Normally, 30th round draft picks don't make it to a full season team during their first year, but Savannah bumped him up from Kingsport to help in their playoffs. There's a good chance he will wind up starting the 2011 season in Brooklyn, but maybe they'll reward him by returning to the Coastal Empire.
