The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
Max Adams, Carlsbad (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: SS/2B Raw athletic tools that play well in the MIF, consistent line-drive hitter with a swing path that works to both gaps Body: 5-11, 163-pounds. Lean and athletic frame with present strength. Evenly proportional between upper and lower halves, overall sound foundation for contiunal physical development. Hit: RHH. Slightly open stance with feet set just beyond shoulder-width. Knob preset facing catcher, back elbow starting just above shoulder-plane. Smooth and controlled weight-shift from backside to center-of-mass at front-foot strike. LD swing that works to RCF, hard contact the other way with consistent bat path in-zone. Efficient hands that stay connected to body through swing, subtle loft created on followthrough post contact. 70.4 mph bat speed with 12.2 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 98 max exit velocity, averaged 93.0 mph. 344' max distance. Arm: RH. INF-84 mph. Low 3/4 slot with already present arm-strength, loose whippy arm action creating greater life on throws across the diamond. Defense: INF: Comfortable lateral movements to both sides, very active lower-half working towards the baseball. ATH: 6.61 runner in the 60. 26.30 max vertical. Vizual Edge: 78.11 Edge Score

Max Adams, Carlsbad (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: SS/2B MIF with positional flexibility and a developing hit tool. Body: 5-11, 158-pounds. Lean, athletic frame with present quickness and room to continue adding strength as physical maturity comes. Hit: RHH. Athletic stance with a slight knee bend and a controlled move forward. The hands stay quiet through the load, and the stride stays short and on time. Compact and efficient swing path, producing line-drive and consistent contact to all parts of the field. 67.2 mph bat speed with 11 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 86.9 mph. 325' max distance. Arm: RH. INF-86 mph. Smooth and under control with a medium-length arm path. Throws show functional carry with occasional natural run, fitting the left side of the INF. Defense: Athletic, fluid mover with confidence working laterally, particularly to the glove side. Footwork stays clean, and body control through the catch-and-throw sequence allows plays to stay on time and under control. Vizual Edge: 72.17 Edge Score

Making the trip up from San Diego, Adams really impressed and stood out in live gameplay, turning in a multi-hit performance that showcased both his bat-to-ball skills and athleticism. He muscled a base hit to right field in one at-bat and later squared up a line drive single in another, showing the ability to adjust and compete in different counts. His speed translated well in game, as he swiped third base with ease, mirroring his 6.98 60-yard dash from the workout. Offensively, Adams features a line-drive oriented swing that produced a 91.8 mph max exit velocity and 21.9 mph max hand speed during BP. Defensively, he profiles as a 2B/3B with an accurate 78 mph arm and steady infield actions. A key piece of Carlsbad’s strong 2027 core, Adams has clearly made significant strides in his overall game since the spring and looks primed to contribute in a big way again for the Lancers in 2026.
