Top Performer Spotlight: 2022 RHP Evan Adams
September 17, 2018
As we head into the fall/winter season we are publishing "Top Performer Spotlights" on players who stood out at past PBR California events, PBR officially scouted events and tournaments, and/or the summer circuit. In this edition we'll take a look at 2022 RHP Evan Adams, who was a standout at the recently completed Northern California Underclass Games. With his performace, Adams emerged as one of the top pitchers we've come across in this region in the 2022 class.
Adams is yet another talented young pitcher at Cardinal Newman HS in Santa Rosa (CA). Last season 2021 RHP Carson Crawford emerged as an important part of the varsity team pitching staff at CNHS and Adams has a chance to follow in those footsteps this coming spring.
Let's take a closer look at 2022 RHP Evan Adams of Cardinal Newman HS in Santa Rosa, California.

Scouting Report
QUICK TAKE
Adams was excited to attend the Northern California Underclass Games and let us know via twitter that he was prepping hard for the event and looked forward to showing his stuff. The hard work and preparation paid off. His stuff is good and his delivery is athletic, while being a bit of a throwback to more athletic deliveries. Adams is confident in what he can do and when given the chance to show it, he more than backed up that confidence with his performance.

SCOUTING REPORT
8/25/18 - N California Underclass Games - 5-foot-10, 175-pounds, one of the better 2022 pitchers we’ve seen in Northern California, strong athletic build, good lower half, good levers. Athletic delivery, gets to a very high knee lift that happens fluidly and with balance, deep on the backside and comes out of it with good timing, slight cross body stride, good drive from his lower body, overhand slot, strong front side and gets to good extension, occasionally fell off and yanked a pitch or two, attacking style and hitters seemed on their heels as he was throwing his fastball by them consistently. Used slide step well. Fastball was fairly straight yet it had life at the plate and through the zone. Showed feel of the slider and kept his change-up down. Fun to watch him pitch and compete.
