FP: How old were you when you first started playing baseball?
Adam: I was probably 4 or 5, I have a terrible memory though so I may be wrong.
FP: Do you just pitch, or you do you play other positions as well?
Adam: I’m strictly a pitcher. Once I got to college they took away my hitting privileges.
FP: What other sports did you play in high school?
Adam: I played basketball and soccer.
FP: What made you want to pursue baseball further after high school?
Adam: It was what I was best at and most passionate about. Plus as kids we all have pro aspirations, but I guess Division III baseball suited me just fine.
FP: How many different pitches do you throw?
Adam: I throw three: fastball, change-up, and curve.
FP: Do you have any rituals you go through before a start?
Adam: No, I’m not really a superstitious person. The one thing that may be thought of as a ritual is going through the exact same stretching and warm-up routine.
FP: Who’s your favorite nation team and player?
Adam: My favorite team is the Red Sox, and my favorite player is Josh Beckett, and I’m not ashamed to say that (Derek) Jeter comes in a close second.
FP: Is there anything you want USM to know about the “real” Adam Ross?
Adam: What you see is what you get, as boring as that might sound!
