Adams

3.26.15:  Adams has an athletic frame and is a solid receiver behind the plate. He has a decent arm and a quick release, throwing a 2.06 pop time between innings. At the plate, he has a simple swing that is short to the ball with good batspeed and a high finish that generates backspin. As he matures at the plate, he will need to adjust his two-strike approach as he struck out on a breaking ball down in his first at bat and did not shorten up or adjust on the pitch. His middle of the lineup potential was on display as he drilled a fastball up in the zone out to left for a long home run in his third at bat.
