ABOUT
Tommy
Tommy Edman is a professional utility player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, known for his versatility, speed, defense, and ability to contribute throughout the lineup. Born on May 9, 1995, in Pontiac, Michigan, Edman played college baseball at Stanford University before being selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2016 MLB Draft. He made his Major League debut in 2019 and developed into one of baseball’s most versatile defenders, earning a Gold Glove while playing multiple positions across the infield and outfield.
Edman was traded to the Dodgers during the 2024 season and quickly became an important part of their championship run. His impact was especially evident in the postseason, as he earned 2024 National League Championship Series MVP honors after helping Los Angeles advance to the World Series. With his ability to play multiple positions at a high level, switch-hit, run the bases, and deliver in big moments, Edman has established himself as a valuable and dependable piece of the Dodgers roster.

Favorite Bible Verse:
Isaiah 40:31 — “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
I love this verse because it is a constant reminder that our source of strength is God. He is our foundation. He has been there from the very beginning, and He is the One we can always fall back on.
