View Draft Report
Adams offers a combination of power and speed that helped Louisiana-Lafayette to the best regular season in school history, with a No. 2 ranking and 46-7 record entering the postseason. He's of average size at 6 feet and 185 pounds, but the righthanded hitter surprises with solid-average power. He has adopted the Ragin' Cajuns' characteristic aggressive approach at the plate, which leads to some swing-and-miss but also to power production, and he ranked second in the nation in OPS behind Kentucky's A.J. Reed. Adams also has shown plus speed out of the box to first base, though it plays more as average. He's a fringy defender and thrower who profiles best in an outfield corner.
