Cade Adams brings glove-first upside and freshman catcher's grit to Southern Miss
Cade Adams is a 2026 freshman catcher for Southern Miss from Pearland, Texas, and the program’s roster lists him at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds with a right-handed bat. His appeal is the catcher profile: he was an all-district backstop in high school, helped Pearland reach deep playoff runs, and joins a Southern Miss program that clearly values his defensive tools and development upside. The big question is offense and experience, but for a team looking for a tough, high-energy catcher who can grow into the role, Adams is an intriguing fit.
