Hall of Fame
The program's home run leader, Chris Edmondson '10 is the latest member of the baseball program to be elected to the Hall of Fame. He registered a .328/.416/.622 slash line with 224 hits, 49 doubles, a program-record 44 home runs, 10 triples, 139 runs scored, a program-record 178 runs batted in and 28 stolen bases over 197 games played (tied for the most in the program's history at the time), including 182 starts. In addition to having the program records for home runs and runs batted in, he ranks first in the program's history in total bases (425) and intentional walks (14), fourth in doubles, tied for fourth in games played, sixth in times hit by pitch (33), tied for sixth in triples, eighth in hits, ninth in slugging percentage and games started and tied for 12th in runs scored. After starting 28 of 42 games played as a freshman in 2007, he was an All-American and the Division I Independent Player of the Year in 2008 after slashing .367/.464/.745 with 72 hits, 22 doubles, 14 home runs, five triples, 64 RBI and 51 runs scored. His  22 doubles are tied for the most in a season in the program's history, his 146 total bases are the second-most and his 64 RBI are the third-most, while his 14 home runs were tied for the most in a season in the program's 24-year initial Division I tenure (and are currently tied for the third-most overall in the program's history), his five triples were tied for the third-most, his .745 slugging percentage was the fourth-highest (eighth overall), his 51 runs were tied for the seventh-most and his 72 hits were tied for the ninth-most. He hit .322/.410/.644 with 13 home runs (tied for the eighth-most in the program's history), 12 doubles, 46 RBI and 32 runs scored as a junior. He closed out his career by slashing .348/.424/.612 with 70 hits, 13 doubles, 12 home runs, 50 RBI, 41 runs scored and 14 stolen bases as a starter in all 55 games played. He became the first (and still only) Dolphin to record at least 12 homers in three separate years, the first (and still only) Dolphin to drive in at least 50 runs in multiple years and the fourth Dolphin (now five) to record at least 70 hits in multiple seasons. On April 4, 2010, he broke the program's career home run record with a three-run blast in an 8-2 win over Stony Brook. Two days later, Edmondson became the program's RBI leader with a two-run homer at St. Bonaventure. The 2010 Rev. J. J. O'Brien Senior Achievement Award recipient, he was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals with the 24th pick of the 43rd round in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. He was the sixth outfielder in the program's history to be drafted. Following three seasons in the Cardinals organization and reaching High-A in 2012, he split his final professional season between the independent Rockland Boulders and the Atlanta Braves' Class A affiliate. Over 289 games with minor league teams, he hit .264/.332/.423 with 28 home runs, 59 doubles, 12 triples, 169 RBI and 156 runs scored.
