Bernard Adei

Bernard Adei has been a pitcher and manager in Uganda.

Adei attended the MLB European Academy in 2009. He coached the Ugandan team in the 2015 Little League World Series. He pitched three perfect innings for the Ugandan national team in the 2019 African Championship Qualifiers to beat Tanzania. In the 2019 African Championship itself, he was Uganda's player-manager. He got their first win, combining with Nicholas Alumai on a no-hitter of Zimbabwe. Interestingly, Alumai had been one of the players on the 2015 LLWS team he coached. Adei got their third win as well, giving him 2/3 of their victories, beating Zimbabwe and Cliff Vint. In the finale, though, against powerhouse South Africa, he did not fare as well. Relieving Alumai with a 11-0 deficit in the 3rd, he soon served up a grand slam to Charl Cordier as South Africa was on the way to a 27-0 rout. He finished the event at 2-0, 8.30. He led the event in victories and was 6th with 7 whiffs (a team-high) while placing 5th in the high-scoring tourney in ERA (between Hamidou Kafando and Cliff Vint).
