Troy pitcher selected by Chicago Cubs in 2025 MLB draft

Another Trojan is off the board in the 2025 MLB draft.

The Chicago Cubs picked Troy pitcher Noah Edders in the 15th round of the draft on Monday with pick No. 451.

Former Troy catcher Brooks Bryan was also drafted on Monday, going to the Kansas City Royals in the eighth round.

In his lone season with Troy, Edders posted a 5.12 ERA with a 5-2 overall record in 14 starts and 65 innings pitched. He struck out 67 batters and walked 27 as a junior with an allowed batting average of .241.

He pitched a seven-inning complete game against ULM in April, allowing four hits and one earned run while walking one and striking out nine; his 67 strikeouts ranked No. 14 in the Sun Belt Conference.

Before his time with the Trojans, the Woodridge, Ill., native spent three seasons at Bradley where he led the team with 79 innings pitched in 2024 across 15 starts; he struck out 76 batters with a 6.15 ERA.

Edders is the second Troy pitcher drafted in three seasons, joining 2023 ninth-round pick Zach Fruit, who is with the Baltimore Orioles organization.
