Prosecutors said Gallo's blood-alcohol level was almost three times the legal limit at the time of the crash. Gallo is charged with three counts of second-degree murder.
Adenhart, a 22-year-old right-hander with a promising career ahead of him, had pitched six scoreless innings during a home game against the Oakland Athletics the night of the accident.
He and three friends were reportedly on their way to a dance club when their car was hit. Adenhart's friends Henry Pearson and Courtney Stewart were also killed in the crash. A third friend was seriously injured.
If convicted of all charges, Gallo could be sentenced to more than 50 years in prison.
The next court hearing is July 26.
