Summary
USC’s Mason Edwards just made baseball history—drafted second round by the A’s, the first Trojan to land that high since 2009. He dominated college ball with an undefeated 8-0 record, a jaw-dropping 2.07 ERA, and 169 strikeouts—the most by a Trojan pitcher since Mark Prior in 2001. He earned first-team All-American honors, the first Trojan to do so in over a decade. His deal? A solid $2.4M—more than the usual $2.1M for that slot. He’s the first USC player drafted to sign; Augie Lopez, Grant Govel, and Adam Troy still have until Monday to decide: go pro or return to college. The spotlight’s on them now.
