In a power hitter, two things to note are how often he whiffs and batting average. Lots of Ks or a low average indicate holes ML pitchers can exploit. Adams has a line drive swing. He can use his strength to drive the ball and does not need to uppercut or have a long swing. If he does not walk a lot, this may reflect excellent hand-eye-coordination.
