Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed last night by a drunk driver, just hours after pitching the best game of his Major League career.
Nick Adenhart has consistently been ranked as a top prospect in the MLB since he was drafted by the Angels in 2004, being ranked higher each year than the last. He was the Angels' top prospect heading into the 2009 season.
Adenhart's only win in the MLB came against the White Sox, as he pitched five and two-thirds innings and gave up four earned runs in a 10-7 Anaheim home win. His final game was a no-decision in which he pitched a shutout through six innings, gave up seven hits and three walks, and struck out five hitters. His career ended with a 1-0 record and a 6.0 ERA and nine strikeouts through four games. He was one of the most promising pitchers in the Major League, and he will be missed. My thoughts go out to his friends and family.
