"In seven games of action so far with Toronto this spring, the 23-year-old prospect has posted a .455 batting average, 1.174 OPS, along with five hits, one run scored, two doubles, three RBIs and a stolen base in just 11 total at-bats. Despite being used more as a sub, as McAdoo has only one start under his belt, he has sure made the most of his opportunity with his limited playing time."
"Last year with the Double-A New Hampshire he might have struggled by registering a .247 average and .732 OPS, but he still managed to put his elite combination of power and speed on full display with 24 doubles, 16 home runs and 34 stolen bases in 121 total games played."
"Although an infielder by trade, McAdoo has also previously seen reps in right field prior to 2025. As a result, he could potentially be a valuable, power-hitting utilityman when he eventually makes the major leagues. However, he will still need some work if he intends to man the hot corner as he has committed 19 total errors with New Hampshire during his past two seasons."
Charles McAdoo, a 23-year-old infielder acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays from the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2024, is making a strong impression during Spring Training. In seven games with seven at-bats, he has posted a .455 batting average and 1.174 OPS. McAdoo represents the organization's best power-hitting prospect following Orelvis Martinez's departure. Despite struggling at Double-A New Hampshire last season with a .247 average, he demonstrated elite power and speed with 24 doubles, 16 home runs, and 34 stolen bases across 121 games. McAdoo has also played right field and could develop into a power-hitting utilityman, though his defensive work at infield positions needs improvement with a .925 fielding percentage.
