Scouting Report

2024

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 45

The 2023 Draft will forever be known as the Paul Skenes Draft in Pittsburgh, and rightfully so. But that doesn’t mean the Pirates didn't found other potential big league talent throughout the rounds. They took a low-risk flier on McAdoo in Round 13 out of San Jose State, and he made a strong first impression with a .923 OPS in 28 games with Single-A Bradenton during his summer debut. He got off to an equally impressive start with a move up a level to High-A Greensboro during his first full season, and after keeping things rolling at Double-A Altoona, he was dealt to the Blue Jays at the Trade Deadline in a straight-up swap for Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

A big and strong right-handed hitter, McAdoo surprised evaluators with his overall feel for hitting and ability to impact the baseball. He’s shown he can handle velocity and routinely turns in quality at-bats with a patient approach and limited chase. That’s allowed him to consistently find the barrel and drive the ball with above-average exit velocities, and he could grow into average power eventually.

Mostly a second baseman in college, McAdoo has good hands and decent arm strength that give him the chance to stick on the dirt, and he exceeded expectations at third this season. He likely is better suited for first or a corner outfield spot when all is said and done, but it’s his bat that has helped him raise his profile.
