Adams slashed .227/.443/.397 with 11 home runs, 28 steals, an 18.7 percent walk rate and a 21.3 percent strikeout rate in 101 games for High-A Wisconsin.
His results were eerily similar last year at Single-A, when he hit .233 with a .400 on-base percentage, 11 home runs and 30 steals in 99 games. The 6-foot-4 third baseman has never been worse than 35 percent better than league average (135 wRC+), but he has also never hit above .233 in a full-season league. It's an odd overall skill set, as Adams is clearly an OBP machine, but like Tyler Black before him, his stolen-base totals oversell his actual foot speed, and it's unclear if he'll hit for enough power to play corner-infield on a first-division team.
