Somerset Patriots Sign MLB Shortstop Edwin Maysonet

Bridgewater, NJ- The Somerset Patriots have announced the signing of shortstop Edwin Maysonet.

Maysonet has Major League experience with the Houston Astros in 2008-2009 and with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2012.

He has a Major League career .265 batting average, 36 hits, and 11 RBI in 76 games played.

“If what I hear about Edwin is accurate, it will be a treat for our fans to watch him play shortstop.  Edwin has great hands and it is extremely important to have someone with his abilities in such an active position.  I think Edwin is a complete player that will be a force in our lineup as well.  He seems to handle the bat well and will be a great addition to our team,” said Brett Jodie, Manager of the Somerset Patriots Baseball Club.

In addition to his Major League time, Maysonet has six seasons of Triple-A experience for the Astros, Brewers, and Chicago Cubs organization, most recently last season in Iowa.
