Biographical Information

Adam Everett played for Team USA as a both an amateur and as a pro. In the 1997 Intercontinental Cup, he hit .296/.441/.296. In the Bronze Medal game, he was 1 for 4 with two steals in a loss to the Australian national team. He then appeared for the USA in the 2000 Olympics. He was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 1st round of the 1998 amateur draft, with the 12th overall pick, out of the University of South Carolina, after having been a 4th-round pick by the Chicago Cubs in the 1995 amateur draft, coming out of high school.

He never played for Boston in the majors, however, as on December 14, 1999, he was traded to the Houston Astros for outfielder Carl Everett (no relation). He played for the Astros from 2001 to 2007, spending 2003 to 2006 as their regular shortstop. He was a good fielder but never hit much, topping out at .273 in 2004, with limited power. His highest OPS+ was just 80. He appeared in the postseason in 2004 and 2005, including playing in the 2005 World Series when he went 1 for 15 as the Astros were swept in four games by the Chicago White Sox. The highlight of his career came just before that, when he 7 for 23 (.304) in the NLCS against the St. Louis Cardinals to help Houston reach the World Series for the first time in franchise history.

In 2008, he moved to the Minnesota Twins as a free agent, but hit just .213 in 48 games as a back-up infielder. He then completed his major league career with two seasons with the Detroit Tigers and one with the Cleveland Indians. He was a regular again with the Tigers in 2009, playing 118 games and hitting .238 with an OPS+ of 68. He got the only black ink of his career that season, by leading the American League with 15 sacrifice hits. Overall, in 880 major league games over 11 seasons, he hit .242 with 40 homers and 243 RBIs.

Everett started his post-playing career in 2012 as a Special Assistant to Baseball Operations for the Cleveland Indians. He returned to the Astros organization in 2013 as an infield instructor. In this role, Everett worked with both the major league team as well as the organization’s minor league players and staff focusing on the development of infielders. Everett attended portions of major and minor league spring training and visited affiliates and the major league club several times throughout the season.[1] Everett retained this role through 2015. During the 2014 campaign, Everett was added to the major league staff on September 1st to replace the fired Dave Trembley as bench coach for the remainder of the season. In 2016-2017, Everett worked in the more traditional role of Minor League Infield Coordinator for the Astros

The Atlanta Braves' hired Everett in 2018 to serve as their Minor League Infield Coordinator. He stayed in this position for two years. Everett departed baseball in 2020-2021 to work as a Sports Operations Manager for Synexis Biodefense Systems.[2] Apparently, the baseball siren call was too much for Everett to ignore as he once again became a Minor League Infield Coordinator, this time for the Philadelphia Phillies. He remained in this role from 2022 through 2025.
