Ehire Enrique (Palma) Adrianza (born August 21, 1989) is a Venezuelan professional baseball shortstop for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball. He is 6'1" tall and he weighs 165 pounds.

He began his professional career in 2006, playing for the DSL Giants and hitting .156 in 122 at-bats. In 2007, he played again for the DSL Giants, improving his batting average to .241 in 249 at-bats, stealing 23 bases in 29 attempts.

He played in the United States for the first time in 2008, splitting the season between three teams – the AZL Giants (15 games), Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (one game) and the Fresno Grizzlies (two games). Overall, he hit a combined .288 in 66 at-bats.

After hitting .258 in 388 at-bats for the Augusta Greenjackets in 2009, Adrianza helped the San Jose Giants win the California League Championship in 2010. He hit .256 in 445 at-bats, stealing 33 bases in 48 attempts.^[1] However, because of his low batting average in 2010, he remained in San Jose during the bulk of the 2011 season. In 2011, Ehire batted .300 with 3 home runs and 27 RBIs.

Adríanza made his MLB debut on September 8, 2013, against the Arizona Diamondbacks.^[2] He entered the game as a pinch runner in the 11th inning and scored the winning run in a 3–2 victory.^[3]

Adríanza hit his first career home run on September 22, 2013 against the New York Yankees. He broke up a no-hit bid by Andy Pettitte in his final start at Yankee Stadium.
