Edgar Olmos

Edgar grew up in Southern California in a close-knit family. He is the oldest of 4 siblings and fell in love with the game of baseball at 4 years old. Edgar went on to discover the joy of pitching at 8 years old and hasn't stopped since. He originally signed with the University of Arizona but then was drafted out of high school by the Florida (Miami) Marlins in 2008.

He made his Major League debut in 2013 with the Miami Marlins and loved every minute of it. Baseball is full of change and he continued on to be part of the Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs, Baltimore Orioles, & Boston Red Sox organizations. His 2018 season was spent in Japan with the Chiba Lotte Marines. Edgar says he was fortunate enough to play in two Arizona Fall Leagues (13' & 14'). He intended on pitching in Mexico with the Tijuana Toros but ended up having surgery for the 2nd time in his career.

"I have learned many valuable lessons during my exciting years in professional baseball. My goal is to give back & help kids understand the importance of the little things in baseball that play a huge role in development."

He and his family moved to the Birmingham area at the end of the 2018 season.

"I am a blessed Husband & Father of 3 beautiful children. When I am not spending time with my family or working I am usually enjoying the outdoors, shooting pool, working in the yard, at church or watching sports. I am very excited & honored for this opportunity to help make a difference for you in your baseball and life journey."
