Adam is a two way player who gives great effort each time out. On the mound as a RHP, he stays squared to his target, pitches to contact and fields his position well. His FB ranged from 48-52mph and as he grows with time he will be able to improve his velocity. As a 2020 grad he has plenty of time to develop secondary pitches to complement his FB command. Defensively, he readies himself with great pre pitch movements, attacks the ball and creates solid momentum toward first base. Offensively, he has a direct path to the ball, keeps his swing compact and finds the barrel consistently. Adam sprays the ball to all fields which helped him collect a couple of hits and an RBI at the event. He improves each time out and should take good strides given the time left in his development.

Adam continues to work hard on his skills. On the mound, this righty gets to a controlled balance point and has smooth separation, keeping his shoulders in-line toward the dish. FB still sits mid 50's while showing some cut. Breaking ball has 11/5 shape with early action. He throws his CH with FB arm speed helping to create deception. Driving his lower 1/2 off of the rubber and striding square will help to improve abilities on the mound. Defensively, he hustles into a square fielding and keeps the GB in front. He moves well to his glove side, makes the plays with soft hands and has a clean exchange to throw. Working more from the ground up will help to avoid getting the in-between hop which will improve his defensive skills. With the bat, Adam has a balanced setup with rhythm in his hands. He barrels the ball up and drives it to all parts of the field. Engaging more of his lower 1/2 will result in increased power. Only a 2021 grad - Adam still has a ton of time to develop.
