Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Jake Kerns
Age: 22 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 160 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Slender build. Has begun to fill out and add strength. High-waisted. Athletic. Plays with bounce and swagger.
Hit: Upright, open stance. Pre-pitch sway. Small leg kick. Quick, short swing that generates mostly line drives. Above-average bat speed. Has solid pitch recognition but shows a tendency to swing and miss. Can be over-aggressive. Pulls the ball. Capable bunter but his speed holds it back from being a threat. Tool has some room to grow with a different approach and better use of his lower body. Grade: 45
Power: Average raw power but mostly gap power in-game. Does not use his lower half well and instead tries to muscle the ball; does not possess the natural strength to do so. Grade: 40
Field: Moves well to his left and right. Above-average range at SS. Quick reactions. Strong footwork. Shows a good glove and makes some flashy plays. May be a plus defender at 2B. Grade: 55
Arm: Good transferer. Makes the routine plays. Throws mostly sidearm. Average arm strength. Grade: 50
Run: Flashes average speeds down the line from the left side; in the 4.20-4.25 range. Slow out of the box. Average runner once he gets going. Takes wide turns at 1st base. Added weight may lead to decreased times. Grade: 45
Overall: Ademan's stock has taken a tumble over the last couple seasons and it is entirely attributable to his bat. The defensive ability is not in question, but he must hit to move up the ladder. He possesses more upside than his tools presently rate, but the likelihood of him impacting a major league lineup is fading.
