Fresno, CA - Fresno Grizzlies RHP Blake Adams was named by Minor League Baseball as the California League Pitcher of the Month for April. This is the third award for Adams in the month of April, which includes California League Pitcher of the Week (April 17-23) and Rockies Minor League Pitcher of the Month.
Over three starts in April, Adams went 1-0 with a 1.06 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. In 17 innings of work, Adams allowed two runs (both earned), on 12 hits and two walks while fanning 20. Adams did not allow a run in 12 straight innings to finish the month. On April 19 at Rancho Cucamonga, Adams did not allow a hit until a Chris Newell two-out single in the sixth.

The righty was selected in the 13th round of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Rockies out of Kansas State University. The Springdale, Arkansas native gives the 2023 Grizzlies their third California League award this season (Ryan Ritter and Adams, twice). Last year, Fresno won 14 California League honors (Weekly and Monthly), a franchise record.
