Riley Adams, the Washington Nationals noted in a press release on the trade with Toronto’s Blue Jays that brought the catcher to D.C. this past July, “... was considered the best power hitter in Toronto’s Minor League system according to Baseball America.” Before the deal, he’d put up a .239 AVG, six doubles, a triple, seven homers, 17 RBIs, 16 walks, and 20 runs in 35 games for Triple-A Buffalo in the Blue Jays’ system in 2021, and a .262/.363/.419 line over 286 games between 2017–2021, with 66 doubles, five triples, 28 home runs, 146 RBIs, 130 walks, and a total of 153 runs scored over those four years.
Where does Riley Adams fit in the Nationals’ catching mix for 2022?
