Aug. 25—BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Bowling Green Hot Rods player Evan Edwards was named High-A East Hitter of the Week, Minor League Baseball announced Monday.

Edwards — a former Southern Guilford standout who also played in the HiToms organization for many years — had a .333 batting average with three home runs, seven RBIs and seven runs during a six game series last week in Greensboro.

Edwards, who played at NC State before being selected in the fourth round of the 2019 draft by Miami and traded to Tampa Bay, is tied for the team lead with 20 home runs this season. He is also in the top five in hits, runs and RBIs.

The Hot Rods continue their season this week at home against the Rome Braves. They will return to the Triad next month, facing the Winston-Salem Dash on Sept. 7-12.
