Last August, Chance Adams made a somewhat impressive spot start for the Yankees against the eventual World Champion Red Sox in Boston.
Considering it was his major league debut in hostile territory, Adams allowed three runs on three hits across five innings, while striking out two and walking one.
Unfortunately, Adams would only make two more relief appearances in 2018 for the Yanks, surrendering three more runs on five hits while walking three and striking out two.
Unsure what to make of Adams’ brief time on the 25-man roster, many wondered if the now 24-year-old, who had surgery to remove bone spurs from his right elbow following the 2017 season, had lost the necessary velocity on his fastball, ever again to compliment his secondary pitches that don’t typically conclude in strikeouts.
