Samuel Adams@  
Third Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Adams never has been a patient hitter. Adams always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
His arm is below average but not a major weakness given his solid defense. He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical.

2025 Outlook
Adams has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.
