The Book on Nick Adenhart

Prospect Info

---

Nick Adenhart
Born 8/24/1986
RHP, LAA

The most successful of many Anaheim rebuilding projects, Adenhart now shows great control of his mid-90s two-seamer and has mixed in two new offspeed pitches. The Angels projected him to blossom into an ace last year, and this year he may get his chance. If you can only have one prospect in your draft this year, consider Adenhart. No right-hander (other than the Twins' Garza) has shown the makeup to survive being tossed into the fire at a young age. He may go down as one of the all-time draft steals.

Player Updates and Notes

24 hours after winning his first major league game, Nick Adenhart is back in the minors. With John Lackey coming back to the team, there was simply no place left to keep Adenhart. He'll be back later.

Dustin Moseley has beaten out Nick Adenhart for the Angels fifth starter job. He'll begin the year in AAA Salt Lake as the first man on the phone, but he'll fall to seventh or eighth starter status if the Angels ever get their injured veterans back.
