Eric Edkin is a 2008 RHP/1B with a 6'2'', 200 lb. frame from Muscatine, Iowa, who attends Muscatine High School. Edkin is a big, strong player with a mature frame. On the mound he is a right handed hitter who hits from a high 3/4 arm slot. Edkin throws with a good downhill plane to the plate with a fastball that topped out at 81 mph, and he projects to throw harder in the future. He has confidence in his change-up and he gets good tumble on the pitch with solid deception. Edkin gets little use of lower half, and when he makes the adjustment he will throw harder. At the plate he is a right handed hitter who uses a short stride. Edkin has a short and compact swing with a line drive swing plane. He likes the ball on the inside and pulls the ball with some pop. Edkin keeps it simple at the plate.
