| Summary: Adams is an unconventional but intriguing corner bat whose patience and power drive a quietly impressive profile. A 12th-round steal for Milwaukee, he’s shown an elite ability to control the zone, running on-base percentages north of .440 while maintaining above-average contact rates. His swing remains busy—built around a pronounced leg kick and high-energy move through the zone—but when timed up, the ball jumps off his bat with plus raw power and 106 mph peak exit velocities. At times, that discipline turns to passivity, allowing hittable strikes to pass and leaving him vulnerable to spin when behind, but the underlying offensive traits suggest a hitter who can grow into consistent impact. Originally a third baseman, Adams has improved his footwork and hands enough to stay playable there, though a move to first base or left field is possible long term. He’s a better athlete than his frame suggests, stealing 58 bases across two seasons and running well for his size. If he finds a balance between patience and controlled aggression, the blend of zone control, sneaky athleticism, and raw strength gives him a chance to be more than just a corner OBP bat. | |||||||||||
