Saturday Sleepers: Charles McAdoo is Heating Up in Greensboro

In his fourth professional game, Charles McAdoo went 6-for-6 with two home runs.

The game on August 8th, 2023 came almost a month after the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted McAdoo in the 13th round out of San Jose State. McAdoo was coming off a junior year where he batted .325/.409/.543 in 234 at-bats, showing good numbers for the second season in a row.

Following that 6-for-6 day, McAdoo remained hot for a few more games, before fading down the stretch of a longer season than he’s ever seen. He hit .225/.347/.388 after that game, still getting on base, but lacking power or contact.
