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), 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 performance
is selected by his teammates as the most outstanding throughout the course of
CLUB HISTORY
the regular season.
