I will always think of this when thinking of Brian Adams hitting

Play
Jesus Christ and the Curveball

A clip from the movie Major League. This is not for profit and is strictly intended as an educational tool to show the dichotomy between the dominant religion of the United States and it's interactions with other religions through U.S. media. I do not own the movie Major League, nor did I create it, please do not sue me.

Yes. He's with the Eugene Emeralds, the Padres' short-season team.

I have a feeling he'll get a call up to A ball starting next season. Should be with the Fort Wayne TinCaps, if I remember affiliations correctly.

True. Jo Bu can't hit one...
That's the one thing Brian Adams and Wes Rey had in common.

Yes. He has serious power. If he can ever figure out how to hit a breaking ball he's got a real chance to make it. He's been compared by some analysts to Drew Stubbs.

I'd say a lot of young hitters have issues with hitting breaking balls. The key is to learn how to get in situations as a power hitter where you know you're getting a fastball.

A couple of guesses...
The SEC could actually be tougher than the league he's starting off in.
Plus, he's playing every day now. Getting into his groove.
