12/19/2009 - Christmas Camp and Tournament #1 Adam again showed well during his time at Pirate City. He has a big frame and improved in many areas since we last saw him 8/09. At 3B, Adam's hands play well and his arm is strong and accurate. He has a good pre-pitch routine and makes the plays consistently. As Adam continues to grow and become stronger, it will be important for him to work on core strength and body balance. On the mound, Adam's delivery, control, and arm action all improved. He is around the plate with all of his pitches and will get better. Adam's delivery is online toward the plate and he makes good use of his lower 1/2. If Adam can loosen up his actions, and work to repeat his delivery, effectiveness on the mound could improve. At the plate is where Adam showed the most improvement. His bat speed is solid and he creates backspin on balls hit into the gap. Adam has pull side pop and power in his bat, and can further improve by working the baseball to all fields and work on hitting the outside pitch.
