Jordyn Adams

Adams has 80-grade speed and a career 11.6 BB% -- skills that could allow him to be a leadoff hitter who steals 30-plus bases annually. As with most two-sport athletes who are bought away from college football scholarships ($4.1 million bonus in 2018), the big unknown is whether Adams will hit enough for the rest of his tools to play. Injuries have limited him to 138 pro games, during which he has hit .259 with a 23.3 K%. His strikeout rate is as good as anyone could have hoped, but he has struggled to get to his above-average raw power (.371 career SLG) and is just 21-for-30 (70%) on stolen-base attempts. After logging unacceptably high groundball rates in 2018, he managed a 50.6 GB% at Low-A, which is still higher than ideal, but manageable for a 20-year-old hitter who is still developing. His baseball skills are still quite raw, but Adams is talented enough that if something clicks, his stock could soar.

The most athletic player in the 2018 draft, Adams was a big-time D-1 wide receiver recruit, but the Angels gave him a $4.1 million bonus (the 12th highest figure in the class), which was sufficient to lure him away from his commitment to UNC. He is an 80-grade runner with plus raw power, but as with many two-sport prep hitters, the development of his hit tool will be what determines his eventual fantasy value. Unfortunately a broken jaw in mid-August ended his season, cutting short a fantastic nine-game run following a promotion to the Pioneer League. His performance in 20 AZL games didn't necessarily warrant a promotion, but the Angels wanted to keep Adams, D'Shawn Knowles and Jeremiah Jackson together, and the latter two needed a challenge. Adams' premium tools give him a chance to have a Jo Adell-esque ascent up prospect rankings in his first full season, but that should be seen as the best-case scenario -- he could also struggle to adjust to Low-A pitching.
