Dragota comes from an art family and was named after his grandmother’s favorite artist. Young Adolph had other plans, however, and took a liking to baseball at a young age while painting landscapes of EBA stadiums. His artistic brain is said to have helped him easily learn how to hit from both sides of the plate, so the Bluebirds decided to offer him $2.2 million in 2055 to test his art on the baseball field and had a volatile career in the IC during his first couple seasons.
Dragota is a five tool player who should be able to stay in CF, but will likely be better suited for a corner OF spot. The biggest downside is his fragility and the 21 year old has been on the IL several times for different injuries. He was brought up to rookie ball in 2057 and played well in 31 G, but then fell off tremendously in 2058 with a .550 OPS. His 2059 season was better, but still not great, however, he will see time in Single A this season to see if he can further his development.
ETA: 2063
