Coach EdgarCoach Edgar's love of baseball and experience working with kids started way back when he was little. He started working at Lil Sluggers in September of 2010. Every time one of his players moves up to the next level, there are always a few that come back to say "hey!" and give him a high five. When he sees them thrive at the next level, he thinks to himself he knows he contributed to their success.
