Veteran lefty still rehabbing, but the arm talent remains worth watching
In the 2026 season, Chase Adams did not appear for Southern Miss while continuing rehab from an injury, so the big question is health, not upside.[1] Before that, he showed usable left-handed relief value in 2024, posting a 5.30 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 18.2 innings, and that swing-and-miss potential is the hook teams care about.[3] The differentiator here is his experience, baseball IQ, and the patience to work back the right way; he also earned academic honors while rehabbing, which speaks to polish and professionalism.[1] If you need an arm with pedigree and late-inning lefty intrigue, he’s a smart watch-list fit—assuming the comeback holds.
