Adelaide Judochop is a body mechanic and definitely not the secret identity of Core Mechanics batter Captain Judochop.
Adelaide is an extremely competent martial artist, able to punch straight through steel, but harbors some anxieties about how her martial arts abilities translate to a new splort. She is also a body mechanic, an expert in physiotherapy. Physiotherapy is an incredibly complicated undertaking in the CORE given the frequency with which mechanics fiddle with their corporeal forms, and Adelaide helps ensure those bodies run smoothly.
While technically on the team during defense, Adelaide has never hit the ball. When it's her turn to bat, Adelaide will often rush off the field. One can hear the muffled sounds of what is clearly a very loud transformation sequence going on in the locker room, smoke and strobing lights rolling out from under the door, while the Mechs in the dugout whistle and look away like nothing's going on. Finally, Captain Judochop emerges and takes her place with fanfare.
Captain Judochop fights for justice, home runs, personal empowerment through martial arts, and being comfortable in your own skin! Although Adelaide Judochop and Captain Judochop have never been seen in the same place and look rather alike, they are two definitely different people. The mechanics pretend not to notice the similarities because it's more fun that way and there's a running betting pool on how long they can keep the umps fooled. There is a fringe theory that umpires not used to the common CORE practice of keeping backup bodies might only incinerate Captain Judochop, leaving Adelaide intact, but testing this theory has been labeled a bad idea.
Adelaide prefers quiet places and has social anxiety, but appreciates spending time with her teammates. Depending on her mental state, Adelaide has been known to excuse herself a few seconds before Captain Judochop appears, looking noticeably more relaxed.
