For a 2014 second round draft pick that is pitching in a Double-A rotation as a 21-year-old, Spencer Adams has gotten pushed out of projections for future White Sox rosters pretty consistently. The athletic right-hander picked out of high school has always flashed great control (3.8 percent walk rate as a professional) and repeats his delivery like some of the live-armed prospects in the system can still only hope to, but has struggled at times to miss enough bats to build confidence that he can have success at the upper levels.
“He's more of a pitchability guy than somebody who's going to go out there and rack up a lot of strikeouts,” Sox director of player development Chris Getz said.
