Unsigned draft pick Austin Adams flashing great stuff

9

Really neither here nor there, since the Brewers failed to sign Adams after drafting him in the 27th round last year (and as a shortstop no less), but I remembered his name and found it interesting: "When he’s not starting or playing shortstop, Adams often closes for Faulkner, with reports of him hitting 98 mph and sitting at 93-96 with a power breaking ball in the low 80s when he comes in as a reliever. He has given up 47 hits in 43 innings this season, walking 21 and striking out just 39. He’s a 5-foot-10 righthander, and frankly scouts don’t know what to make of Adams. With his quality stuff, he should be dominating NAIA competition, but he hasn’t."
