Amateur career

edit

Eder attended Atlantic Community High School in Delray Beach, Florida as a freshman, sophomore, and junior before transferring to Calvary Christian Academy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for his senior year.[1][2] In 2017, his senior baseball season, he went 8–1 with a 1.25 ERA and 81 strikeouts.[3] He was selected by the New York Mets in the 34th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign, and instead chose to fulfill his commitment to play college baseball at Vanderbilt University.[4][5]

In 2018, Eder's freshman year at Vanderbilt, he appeared in 11 games (nine starts), going 1–4 with a 5.45 ERA over 33 innings.[6] As a sophomore in 2019, he pitched 34 1⁄3 innings in relief, compiling a 1–0 record, a 2.88 ERA, and 37 strikeouts.[7] He pitched the last three innings of the third game of the 2019 College World Series, clinching Vanderbilt's second national title.[8][9] Following the end of the 2019 college baseball season, he played in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Orleans Firebirds.[10][11] For his junior year in 2020, he pitched to a 1–1 record and a 3.60 ERA over four starts before the college baseball season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Professional career

edit

Miami Marlins

edit

Eder was selected by the Miami Marlins in the fourth round of the 2020 Major League Baseball draft with the 104th overall pick and signed.[12] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the pandemic. To begin the 2021 season, Eder was assigned to the Double–A Pensacola Blue Wahoos.[13] In July, he was selected to play in the All-Star Futures Game at Coors Field as an injury replacement.[14] In mid-August, he was placed on the injured list, and later that same month, it was announced that he would undergo Tommy John surgery, forcing him to miss the remainder of the 2021 season and all of 2022.[15] Over 15 starts for the 2021 season, Eder went 3–5 with a 1.77 ERA, striking out 99 batters over 71 1⁄3 innings.[16]

After missing all of the 2022 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Eder rehabbed with the Single–A Jupiter Hammerheads and then was assigned to Pensacola to open the 2023 season.[17] He opened the season on the injured list with a fracture foot.[18]

Chicago White Sox

edit

On August 1, 2023, Eder was traded to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Jake Burger.[19] He was subsequently assigned to the Double–A Birmingham Barons. Over 14 starts for the season, he went 2-6 with a 6.35 ERA and 70 strikeouts over 56 2⁄3 innings.[20] After the season, Eder was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League for the Glendale Desert Dogs.[21]

On November 14, 2023, the White Sox added Eder to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He was optioned to Double—A Birmingham to begin the 2024 season.[22] On July 10, 2024, Eder was promoted to the major leagues for the first time to serve as the 27th man in the team's doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins.[23] He did not appear in either game and was optioned to the Triple–A Charlotte Knights the same day.[24] Eder was promoted again on September 13.[25]
