Adams was one of the Brewers’ biggest popup prospects in 2023. Drafted out of Hinsdale (Ill.) Central High School in 2022, the infielder signed for the equivalent of sixth-round money with a $282,500 bonus and proved why he was worth it at Single-A Carolina in his first full season. Adams produced a 135 wRC+ over 99 games with the Mudcats -- third-best in the Milwaukee system among Minor Leaguers with at least 400 plate appearances -- while slashing .233/.400/.401 with 11 homers and 30 stolen bases.
The right-handed slugger’s at-bats can be a sideshow before he even takes a swing. Standing in at 6-foot-4, he lifts his left leg high during the delivery and extends the foot out straight before stomping down, generating the kinetic energy needed to play into his plus raw power. All the movement also helps with elevation on contact; many of his batted balls (42.2 percent) were fly balls in the Carolina League. Despite all the movement, he’s kept the strikeouts relatively in check in pro ball, and his walk rate continues to pop off the page at every stop he's made, the result of an approach that continues to impress Brewers officials.
A below-average runner, Adams was still super aggressive on the basepaths in his first full season and registered a 75 percent success rate. He might continue to slow down as he matures, and while he can make some plays at third base, his lack of range might fit better at first or in left field, where he got some looks in 2023. Tapping into the power will remain the key to Adams’ success in 2024 and beyond.
