Breaking into the big leagues at age 24, on September 1, 1950, Addis played his first game for the Boston Braves. He would play 16 more games in that season, hitting safely seven times and scoring the same number of times. He played the 1951 season with the Braves too, this time appearing in 85 games, and contributing 55 hits and 23 runs with a single home run. The 1952 season would be played with the Chicago Cubs, and it would be a career best season for him. In 93 games, and 252 at bats, he picked up 86 hits, 13 doubles, two triples, 38 runs, and a home run which capped off 20 RBI for Addis. The next season, he played 10 games in Chicago getting two hits and a run batted in before going to the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he played four games with no significance. His final game was played June 6, 1953, in Pittsburgh.

Addis was later baseball coach and athletic director at Euclid (Ohio) High School, leading the team to a state championship in 1963.
