Nick Adenhart Pitcher of the Year Award
This annual award was established in 2009 in memory of Angels pitcher
Nick Adenhart. On Apr. 8, 2009, Adenhart, 22, along with Courtney Stewart,
Henry Pearson and Jon Wilhite were in a terrible traffic accident. Adenhart,
Stewart and Pearson were killed and Wilhite was seriously injured. The
accident happened shortly after Adenhart, a native of Silver Springs, MD,
pitched a masterful six innings against Oakland (6 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 5 SO),
club history
leaving with a 4-0 lead before a late-inning rally resulted in a 6-4 Angels
defeat.
The award is given to the Angels’ pitcher whose Major League perfor-
mance is selected by his teammates as the most outstanding throughout the
course of the regular season.
