Adam Hall

Hall has long been known as one of the top prospects in Canada, having established himself on the national scene as an underclassman. Hall lived up to the hype on the summer showcase circuit, flashing explosive tools, particularly with his righthanded bat. In the summer, Hall showed natural timing and plus bat speed. He made hard contact against the nation's top prep arms on a consistent basis, flashed an above-average arm and showed plus speed. | This spring, playing with the Canadian Junior National Team, Hall hasn't shown as well offensively. His swing includes a late arm bar with his lead arm, and he struggles to get out of it. Hall often displays his frustrations aggressively on the field, an issue scouts asked him to address during the offseason. He still has the natural elements to develop into a quality hitter, with quick hands and line-drive ability in batting practice. Hall is a shortstop now and has some of the ingredients necessary to stay there, but his arm strength and body control have been inconsistent throughout the year and aren't always on display, leading to some concerns as to where he'll wind up defensively. His quick-twitch athleticism and competitive fire give him a high ceiling, albeit with significant risk. He is committed to Texas A&M.
