Adams

Michigan State commit. Ranked No. 20 in the Illinois’ 2022 class. 6-foot-4, 211-pound, wide-shouldered, well-proportioned, physical build. Made his presence felt all over the diamond. Plays the game hard, thinks two out of the box and runs the bases extremely well for someone his size; highly-competitive overall demeanor on the field. Finished 3-for-4 with a home run, double, two stolen bases, two RBI’s and three runs scored. Swings with aggression, present bat strength and bat speed. Stays flat and through the zone a long time. Backspins the baseball with authority to all fields. Was consistently on time and on the barrel; ball comes off the bat differently than others his age. Middle-of-the-order bat with feel to hit and power potential to all fields. Defensively, has the ability to play multiple defense spots but primary third baseman. Strong arm, steady actions and sneaky range. Also, got on the mound and went right after hitters with a lively fastball that sat 86-87 mph. Went to a 68 mph curveball as his secondary offering. High-level 2022 prospect.
