A-Ball with Erik Oas Episode 21: 1B Evan Edwards
In Episode #21 of A-Ball, we have a pair of exclusive interviews: former AL MVP and Cy Young award winner Denny McLain (9:45) and current LumberKings first baseman Evan Edwards (16:57)! As the 2019 regular season winds to a close, we update the status of top run producer Peyton Burdick and other key Marlins prospects (38:00).
One of the most successful major leaguers to ever spend developmental time in Clinton, McLain is best known for being ace of the Detroit Tigers rotation in the 1960s. Nobody has won 30 games in a single season since his historic 1968 campaign, during which he logged 336 innings and 28 complete games while maintaining a 1.96 earned run average.
