Jo Adell: ‘Why are we ‘raw and toolsy’ and considered ‘high-risk’’

Angels outfielder Jo Adell, the club’s top prospect and a consensus top-10 prospect in baseball, talked with Jerry Bembry at The Undefeated about a variety of topics.

Adell described how he’s dealt with baseball being shut down by the coronavirus pandemic, and the ensuing labor talks between players and owners to start things up again.

He also described how all that has been overshadowed by the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor (in Adell’s hometown of Louisville), and George Floyd, and the protests that have followed. “I find myself consumed less with the return of baseball, and more with the challenges that black people in this country are experiencing,” Adell said.
