In 2016, New York Yankees prospect Chance Adams not only had the best year of any pitcher in the team’s system, but he was arguably the most dominant minor league arm in all of baseball this season.
In his first professional season as a starter, Adams pitched to a 2.33 ERA in 127.1 innings of work, striking out an incredible 29.1% of opposing batters while walking just 7.9% of them. He’s a power arm with a heater in the mid-90’s that has been clocked as high as 99 mph which he compliments with a solid slider and a developing change.
