re: Baseball Returns to the Box on Sunday! Fall Practice Schedule

Adams is a 6'4 guy who hit really well this summer. I thought he was an option last year until I saw him hit in the fall and almost strike out twice vs Grambling.

He did have a really good summer. But he didn't really reduce his strikeout rate, which is concerning. Since we seem to be built on a high contact rate approach (we were one of the hardest to strike out as a team last year) that could be a reason for Adams to not get ABs.

Ultimately though I think his lack of ABs last season had more to do with him grounding into two DPs in one game than his strikeout rate.

ETA: .308/.375/.433 slash line with a 24% K rate. .378 wOBA in 57 games.

Also, for no good reason I would just like to say that Mike Papierski was his summer team's leadoff hitter in most of the games he played.
