Repertoire: low-90s fastball, solid slider, curveball, changeup After a spectacular freshman year where he was used ahead of 2006 first overall selection Luke Hochevar, Adkins struggled with a sore shoulder in a solid enough sophomore season. He’s a back end of the first round selection with a projected ceiling as a back of the rotation starting pitcher.
