Personal

As a pitcher, Adams features a fastball (mid to high 80s mph), curve (low 70s mph), slider and changeup.   On the hitting side, he is good at going to the opposite field, and his exit velocity are in the 90s (mph).

 

Defensively, he has a good throwing arm and is good at positioning himself so that he’s in the right spots to make plays.

 

Adams describes himself as a “a very calm player and good leader in the clubhouse. I have a steady energy and never get too high or too low. I respect the game and am always a go-to guy to talk mechanical and mental prep.”

 

He also has a lot of coaching experience at various youth levels and would be excited about helping a team’s coaching staff.  He has been head coach for 12-under and 17-under teams, and he’s coordinated multiple youth development programs that encompassed as many as 1,100 participants.  He says, “My extensive coaching resume helps guys feel comfortable about discussing different approaches to the game.”

 

Adams continues a strong training regimen to stay in top shape and keep his baseball skills at a high level.

Julian Hunt

New York Boulders, Professional Shortstop

I have known Adams for more than 4 years. In terms of baseball, he is one of the best two way players I have had the pleasure of playing behind. We have played together in numerous amateur leagues as well as in a very competitive semi-pro league in New York City. As a pitcher he commands the zone very well, throws strikes and consistently gets outs. Every pitch in his arsenal can be thrown for strikes, and hitters seem uncomfortable with his tempo. He can hold his own with the bat as well as play the corners with ease and confidence. As an overall two way, he can contribute to any top club with his work ethic, skills, IQ and positive attitude. He’s a real team guy.

As a trainer/coach, Adams is open minded and caters to every player's individual style. Watching the progress of his students hitting/pitching/fielding over the years never ceases to amaze me. Through his overall positive demeanor and passion for getting better at the game, everyone that trains with him including myself have made huge strides in overall gameplay. Any club he has the opportunity to coach for will be a successful.

Adams Peguero has what it takes to play and coach at a high level. I will vouch for him any day.

Craig Batchelor

Budapest Redwolves, Professional Pitcher

Adams is by far one of the best baseball minds I’ve ever been around. His IQ for the game is one of the highest I’ve ever seen and his willingness to learn is almost inspiring. I’ve known Adams for 3.5 years now and I go to him for any baseball question I have, first. I trust his input more than anyone out there because he takes the time to build special relationships with his teammates and players that he coaches.

He has been my trainer over the last 3 years and I can say that I’ve vastly improved ever since I started training with him. The infectious, positive energy that he brings into his day to day inspired me to pursue baseball in Europe. I’ve taken and learned things from him that I apply to my everyday life here. As a coach, he has the potential to be recognizable across many regions in the game of baseball.

As a player, he is as big of a competitor as anyone I’ve ever met. He has the ability to blow you away with fastballs but he is also able to break you down and finesse you into weak contact when on the mound. As a hitter, he consistently hits the ball hard and has phenomenal at bats what seems like every time he steps to the plate.

If I had to sign a player or add a player to my roster, I’m putting Adams towards the top of my target list.

I’ve only had good things to say about him and the way our peers talk about him is the same. I can ramble on for days about all of his positive qualities but I’ll sum it up like this, great teammate, great coach, great player, and an even better human being.

 Additional Testimonials:

Mitch Hillert, Guggenberger Legionare, Professional Pitcher – “Adams is a very passionate player about the game. I’ve played with him in the Pedrin Zorilla league and with the Tides. He will go out and pitch as long as the coach lets him pitch and will compete as a hitter and in the field as well. He would be able to produce in pro leagues in Europe and in Australia. He is an honest man and will teach the game with respect. He is also a great coach and always openminded about players’ progress. He would be a great help for a club.”
