Gavin Adams

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #306 prospect in 2024 draft
  School: Florida State Commit/Drafted: Nationals ’ 23 (11)
  Age At Draft: 21.4
  Adams is a 6-foot-4, 195-pound righthander with tantalizing pure arm talent but a lack of consistent strikes, track record and health. He was one of the most intriguing juco transfers entering the 2024 season and would have given Florida State a weapon on the mound, but had Tommy John surgery before he could pitch an inning for the Seminoles. In the run up to the season Adams was throwing a fastball in the upper 90s that had been up to 100-101 mph and had flashed both a solid slider in the upper 80s and changeup in the same range.
• Ranked #311 prospect in 2023 draft
  School: Indian River State (Fla.) JC Source: JC
  
  Commit/Drafted: Florida State
  Age At Draft: 20.4
  Adams drew some interest as a late target in the 2022 draft, but flashed better control early in the 2023 season with Indian River State JC in Florida before struggling later in the season. The 6-foot-3 righty has a big arm and good pure stuff with a fastball that gets into the upper 90s, as well as solid feel to spin a mid-80s slider. Control remains a serious question mark and he’s mostly pitched out of the bullpen at the juco level, with 19 walks in 26.1 innings and a deep plunge in the back of his arm stroke.
