C2K Sponsorship - Adam Spencer

Adam was targeted for representative honours early, playing for the Hills association from Under-12's, touring Japan with the NSWJBL Under-13's and making the NSW state team in Under-14's, Under-16's and Under-18's.

However the highlight of his time in junior baseball was playing for Australia in the World Series in Aberdeen, Maryland, in 2003, and again in the Under-19 World Championships in Edmonton, Canada in 2008.

Following his outstanding performance at the Australian Under-18 National Baseball Championships in Perth in January 2008 he was signed by the Chicago Cubs. Six organizations chased the signature of the 17-year old from New South Wales, but in the end it was the Cubs who landed Adam, with the young pitcher agreeing to a package worth well into six figures.

Adam spent his first season overseas, last year from March to September and returned home for his off-season. During this time he trains at C2K gym, preparing himself for his next season. Adam follows his training program at the gym 4-5 time a week, focusing on his strength and fitness. He returns to the USA on the 5th of March, to play in the minor leagues until early September.
