After completing his junior year at SIU, Adduci was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 7th round of the 1980 MLB amateur draft. He made his major league debut on September 12, 1983 with the Cardinals at age 24. Over the course of his professional career, Jim Sr. also played for the Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies and in the Japanese Major Leagues for the Yokohama Tayio Whales.

JIM ADDUCI JR.
Texas Rangers, Lotte Giants, Detroit Tigers Jim Adduci Jr. was originally selected out of Evergreen Park High School by the Florida Marlins in the the 2003 draft. Unlike his father, the younger Adduci decided to sign his professional baseball contract directly out of high school. Throughout the last 14 seasons with the Florida Marlins, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers organizations, young Jim has been selected to 4 Minor League All-Star teams and has been a team MVP. Prior to making his Major League debut on September 1, 2013 with Texas, Jim was hitting .298/.381/.463 with 16 homers, 65 RBI and 32 stolen bases at Triple-A Round Rock. Jim singled on the first pitch he saw in the big leagues to record his first MLB hit. The left-handed hitting outfielder has played 889 games over 10 seasons in the minor leagues and is a .284 lifetime hitter. Jim played the entire 2014 season in the major leagues and signed a 2015-2016 contract with the Lotte Giants of the KBO where in 2015 he hit .314 with 28 homeruns and 106 RBI’s. Jim was in the big leagues with the Detroit Tigers in 2017 and is currently playing in his 15th pro season.
Jim’s son, Jim Adduci Jr., is currently playing with the Detroit Tigers organization.
LET JIM AND THE ELITE ACADEMY STAFF HELP YOU REACH YOUR
BASEBALL POTENTIAL Although taking different routes to the big leagues, both Adducis eventually experienced all the successes 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. A common thread between both Adduci’s was a willingness and desire to become the best players they could be. It starts by professionally training in a systematic, progressive manner and that is exactly the type of skills training program Jim Sr. has developed at the Bulls/Sox Academy for the elite travel team player. The training or “skill sessions” were exclusively designed by Jim Adduci to maximize offensive and defensive baseball skills. As an essential developmental resource, sessions will include access to a comprehensive strength and conditioning program. Players will go through progressive workouts similar to those Jim’s son used when he was trained at the Academy as a teenager.
