This is an an amazing story! It starts with a 5 year old girl.
Hailey Dawson is 5 years old and has a rare disease, Poland Syndrome that caused her right hand to not fully develop. Her mom did research a few years ago and found that she could be helped by a 3D printer!
So what does that have to do with baseball?
A project completed by the students at UNLV, made this bionic hand dream come true.
Because her hand is Orioles-themed, it only seemed fitting to have her throw out the first pitch!
