Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes 21st bag
Edwards went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mets.
Edwards continues to dominate on the basepaths, notching his eighth theft over his past seven games. The 25-year-old rookie has only one extra-base hit during that span, but his lofty .441 OBP has given him plenty of baserunning opportunities. Edwards is up to 21 steals in 23 attempts this season, slashing .350/.435/.427 with 24 runs scored and an impressive 26:29 BB:K in 43 games.
