The Seattle Mariners selected Adcock in the eighth round, with the 246th overall selection, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[2] He did not play for the Mariners organization in 2019 due to shoulder impingement syndrome.[3] Adcock also did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
On April 13, 2021, Adcock underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the entire season as a result.[5] He returned to action in July 2022, and made his professional debut in rehabilitation with the rookie–level Arizona Complex League Mariners.

In 12 games for Arkansas, Adcock registered a 2.08 ERA with 13 strikeouts and 2 saves in 13.0 innings pitched.[7] On June 12, 2023, Adcock was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time following an injury to Penn Murfee.[8] In his MLB debut, Adcock threw two scoreless innings without allowing a base runner.[9] In 12 appearances for Seattle in his rookie campaign, he posted a 3.45 ERA with 11 strikeouts across innings of work.
Adcock was optioned to the Triple–A Tacoma Rainiers to begin the 2024 season.[10] On April 8, 2024, he was designated for assignment by the Mariners.[11]
On April 15, 2024, Adcock was claimed off waivers by the Detroit Tigers.[12] In 6 games for the Triple–A Toledo Mud Hens, he struggled to a 9.00 ERA with 9 strikeouts across 6 innings of work. On May 18, Adcock was designated for assignment by Detroit.[13]
On May 23, 2024, Adcock was claimed off waivers by the New York Mets.[14] In 17 outings with the Triple-A Syracuse Mets, he had a 5.82 ERA. He was called up to Queens on June 26,[15] and got two outs in his debut in the sixth inning against the Houston Astros on June 29.[16] After allowing six runs on July 5 in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Adcock was optioned back to Syracuse on July 6.[17] He was designated for assignment by the Mets on July 30.[18] Adcock was released by the team the following day.[19]
