I begin with saddening news. Los Angeles Angels have lost one of their best young prospects, Nick Adenhart. Adenhart, who was only 22, had just come off a dominating perforce against the Oakland A’s. He pitched six scoreless innings but received a no decision.
Adenhart was draft out of Maryland High School in the fourteenth round by the Angels. He suffered an injury at the end of his high school career that required Tommy John Surgery, but he impressed everyone with his stuffed and moved though the rankings very fast. He was 37-28 record with a 3.87 ERA in the minors and made in Major League debut on the first of May versus Oakland, where he also receive a no decision.
Reports have said Adenhart and three others were driving around 12:30 a.m. when a minivan ran a red light and struck there Mitsubishi. Adenhart’s car struck a light pole sending all four people inside the sports car to the hospital for surgery, where three including Andenhart died after surgery with one still in intensive care. The driving of the minivan was arrest a short time later and book for a felony hit-and-run.
