James Charles Adduci (born May 15, 1985) is a Canadian professional baseball outfielder who is currently a free agent.
He grew up in Evergreen Park, Illinois. Adduci attended Evergreen Park Community High School, where he was a two sport star in baseball and basketball. Adduci batted over .500 his junior season and .550 his senior season. He earned team MVP, all conference, and all area in his junior and senior seasons. Adduci was named an all state honourable mention by both the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune following his senior season. The Florida Marlins drafted Adduci in the 42nd round of the 2003 Major League Baseball draft. He signed with the Chicago Cubs as a free agent in 2010.
On November 12, 2012, Adduci signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers. He spent the 2013 season with the Triple-A Round Rock Express, and made his major league debut on September 1, 2013.[1]
On July 1, 2016, Lotte Giants put him on waivers after he tested positive for doping with the pain medication, and banned substance, oxycodon.[2] It was announced that Adduci would be banned from 36 games, resulting in Adduci leaving the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO).[3] The Lotte Giants were later fined 10 million won for inadequate player management due to the failed doping test.[4]
Adduci's father is former Major League Baseball player Jim Adduci.
