15U & 16U TRYOUTSJim Adduci, Sr. is a former Major Leaguer, who has been with the Bulls/Sox Academy for over eighteen years and is currently the Director of Elite Baseball. Jim’s son, Jim Adduci Jr., is currently playing with the Lotte Giants of the Korean Baseball Or-ganization and played in 2013-2014 with the Texas Rangers.

Although taking different routes to the big leagues, both Adducis eventually experienced all the suc-cesses and the adversities of playing professional baseball. Each navigated the journey of being very accomplished high school players, were recruited by numerous college programs, were drafted then signed by professional teams; Jim Sr. out of college and Jim Jr. out of high school. They had to make the tough decisions which inherently go with that type of success in the game; including:

How do I become a standouthigh school player?

How do I get the attention of college coaches or scouts?

College scholarship vs. professional contract?

If college, which scholarship offer to accept?

If pro, should I accept or decline a signing bonus?

How do I negotiate a bonus after the draft?

What is the process of choosing the correct agent for legal representation?

As players, each Adduci experienced the nuances of playing winter ball in theDominican Republic and Mexico. As well as professionally in Japan and Korea.
