2026 Fantasy Outlook
Adams has much more real-life value than fantasy value, but not by much. Adams and Keibert Ruiz are to stolen base prevention as a broken umbrella is at keeping you dry. Adams was barely the better of the two preventing 19 steals in 66 attempts while Ruiz was 17 for 66. Adams has 849 career plate appearances with a 32.5% strikeout rate and this past season was, gulp, his best in homers, runs, and RBIs but it came at the cost of a 38.5% strikeout rate and a .186 average. Adams is an example of why many mono league managers are switching to a one-catcher format for leagues because the second catching situation in such leagues is becoming dire. Adams does possess top level bat speed and can hit the ball hard when he makes contact, but those moments happen too infrequently for him to become a viable fantasy option unless you have multiple catching injuries to cover for in a NL-Only league.
