BIOGRAPHY
Adam Duvall was born September 4, 1988, in Louisville, Kentucky. He is a left fielder in the MLB.
Duvall was called up to the majors on June 25, 2014. In his first MLB game, Duvall hit a home run off Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mike Leake, for whom he was later traded. On September 28, Duvall homered off San Diego Padres pitcher Tim Stauffer for his first career pinch–hit home run. Over the course of 2014, Duvall played in 28 games with the Giants, finishing with three home runs, and five RBIs. The Giants earned a wild card spot with an 88–74 record and eventually won the 2014 World Series over the Kansas City Royals.
In 2020 he batted .237/.301/.532 with 34 runs, 16 home runs (3rd in the NL), and 33 RBIs in 190 at-bats, and was third in the NL in at-bats per home run (11.9).
On July 30, 2021, Duvall was traded to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Alex Jackson. Following the completion of a suspended game against the Braves and San Diego Padres on September 24, 2021, Duvall and Daniel Hudson became the first players in Major League Baseball history to have played in two games for four different teams on the same day. Duvall and Hudson were members of the Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals, respectively, when the teams faced each other on July 21, 2021. The Braves–Padres game on that same day had been suspended, and by the time it resumed on September 24, 2021, Hudson had joined the Padres, and Duvall was a Brave.
In 2021, Duvall batted .228/.281/.491 and led the National League with 113 runs batted in. In game five of the 2021 World Series, he hit a two-out, first-inning grand slam on the first pitch from starting pitcher Framber Valdez, giving the Braves a 4-0 lead. Despite his efforts, the Braves lost 5-9, sending the series to Game 6. Nevertheless, the Braves won Game 6, giving the Braves their first title since 1995 and Duvall's first career World Series championship. At the end of the season, Duvall won the National League Gold Glove Award for right field.
On January 24, 2023, Duvall signed a one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox, reportedly worth $7 million with an additional $3 million possible via potential bonuses.
Duvall signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Braves for the 2024 season.
