Adam was excellent for the third consecutive season, posting top-15 marks among relief pitchers with a career-high 73.2 innings pitched (T-14th), a 1.95 ERA (T-13th), 0.86 WHIP (11th) and 31 holds (seventh). The 33-year-old right-hander was particularly sharp after he was traded mid-season to San Diego, with whom he's under team control through 2026. Adam has not featured a slider much throughout his career, but threw more than ever in 2024 with great success, generating a remarkably high 57 percent whiff rate; second only to Josh Hader for that pitch type. Adam should maintain his high leverage role with the Padres in 2025 and has a decent shot at regular save opportunities considering injuries have often plagued closer Robert Suarez in the past.
