Super-MLB prospect Adley Rutschman says he ain't trying to play in the minor leagues for long ... telling TMZ Sports it's his goal to make The Show THIS SEASON!!!
"It's not my decision," the catcher says, "but we're going to try our hardest."
Of course, Adley was the No. 1 overall pick by the Baltimore Orioles in last summer's MLB draft -- and fans are DROOLING over his potential.
But, it ain't often prospects -- even superstar ones like Adley -- make the leap from the minors to the majors in their first year.
