Vitals: Edison, senior, outfielder

He’s qualified because: Shared the County/Metro Athletic Conference Player of the Year award.

The fleet leadoff hitter and center fielder was the section’s first player taken in the pro draft (third round, Florida) after hitting .454 with 47 runs, 25 RBIs and 34 steals in 37 attempts.

He said it: “Before the season started, I told Marquise, ‘This team will go as far as you lead it.’ He took 200 swings a day and never missed a voluntary Saturday practice. He came out of the chute with a goal to go in the major league draft. Then he hit almost .500 through the [Clovis] Coca Cola Classic, held that pace all year long and, in the end, was rewarded with his goal.” — Edison coach Cliff Rold
