On October 7th, Adams became the first left-handed hitter to hit the game's current best pitcher, Clayton Kershaw's curve ball out of the park. He did just that in Game 4 of the National League Division Series to give his team a 3-2 lead over the Dodgers and send himself and his teammates into the next round.
Adams was selected by the Cardinals in the 23rd round of the 2009 Major League Baseball first-year player draft, and is now one of the best up-and-coming power hitters in the game. You can catch Adams in action as he and the Cardinals look to advance to the World Series. Game 2 against the San Francisco Giants takes place Sunday evening. The Giants lead the series 1-0.
It is great to see former Slippery Rock students out in the professional sport industry, doing very well. He has definitely been doing a great job in getting his name out there and getting media attention. Hopefully his career continues to be on the rise and he continues to progress!
