Grambling, La.--The Los Angeles Dodgers picked Grambling's Edwin Drexler in the 38th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft on Wednesday. Drexler was the No. 1,152 overall pick.
 
Drexler is a native from Jeanerette, Louisiana, and a senior center fielder who played in all of GSU's games this season.  He recorded 185 at bats, 42 runs, 51 hits, five doubles, two triples, three home-runs and 19 runners batted in. Edwin led the team in runs scored (42), triples (2), walks (33), stolen bases (30) and steal attempts (34).
 
"It is such a remarkable feeling helping dreams come true for young men, especially when they do it the right way by graduating with a degree in May and then getting drafted in June," said Head Baseball Coach James Cooper. "We take pride in being a student first and athlete second here at Grambling. Edwin has exemplified just that. His hard work in class and on the field has been recognized. He's a Dodger now. I wish him the best. That's the fifth player drafted in six seasons. Thank God for dear ole Grambling!"
