Career
Adams attended Red Oak High School in Red Oak, Oklahoma. Playing for the school's basketball team, he scored 3,251 points, making him the fifth-highest scorer in Oklahoma high school basketball history.[1] He committed to attend Missouri State University on a basketball scholarship.[2] The Royals selected Adams in the 13th round of the 2009 MLB Draft, and he signed with the Royals rather than attend college.[3]
Adams played for the Northwest Arkansas Naturals of the Class AA Texas League in 2013.[4] After the 2013 season, the Royals added Adams to their 40-man roster.[5]
On September 1, 2014, the Royals promoted Adams to the major leagues.[6] He made his Major League debut that night, replacing Raúl Ibañez as a pinch runner in the eighth inning of the Royals' game against the Texas Rangers.[7][8]
Adams spent the 2015 season in the minor leagues. After the season, the New York Yankees claimed Adams off of waivers.[9]
