Scouting Report
A 20th-round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, the right-hander out of Northern Oklahoma JC has been a sleeper that has slowly captured the attention of prospect experts. Though his ceiling isn't that high due to him being a reliever, Edge is showing the ability to thrive in high-leverage situations with the River Bandits.
In 20 outings and 26.2 IP, Edge has a 2.70 ERA and 0.68 WHIP with a 36.9% K% and 28.2% K-BB%. He has three saves in four chances and two holds, and he's been able to succeed in multiple-inning outings. Edge has gotten some BABIP luck, as it sits at .128. That explains why his FIP is higher at 4.25. Nonetheless, the former JuCo product is showing Royals fans MLB reliever upside, which is what this organization needs given the MLB bullpen's struggles in 2026.
The 21-year-old was named the River Bandits' pitcher of the month for May after he posted a 0.79 ERA and 0.71 WHIP that month.
Edge is known for his 95-96 MPH fastball, low release, and sweeping slider. He has leveraged these traits to succeed this season with Quad Cities. Ranked as the No. 35 prospect in Fangraphs' 2026 Royals Prospects Rankings, here's what they said about Edge in their scouting report:
