In Appreciation Of...Brett Adcock

It's another installment of the In Appreciation Of...series, in which we highlight an under-/unheralded prospect in the Astros system. Check the one from a few weeks back on Corpus pitcher Dean Deetz. Now up is Quad Cities LHP Brett Adcock.

Hailing from Bay City, Michigan, Adcock helped his high school team (and God help them if their high school is not the Bay City Rollers) go 42-2 and win the State Championship in 2013, going 12-0 himself with an 0.58 ERA and 124 strikeouts.

Adcock was one of the best pitchers in the University of Michigan's history, finishing his career with 256 strikeouts (5th in school history) with the 6th-lowest ERA in school history, at 3.
