Kid With Plays Varsity Baseball With 1 Arm


Zeke Dees lost the ability to use his left arm after crashing his quad into a tree. But, that didn't stop him from playing varsity high school baseball. In fact he is an active outfielder for the top-seeded Tri-County North team, the Lions. This little go-getter has figured out how to swing the bat, catch, and throw with only one arm. Posting a .147 with 4 RBI's, made the final out for the win against Catholic Central with a running catch from left-center.

He catches the ball with a left-handed glove flips the ball, drops the glove, and makes the throw. Fellow teammate Dylan Herring said, "He's worked really hard to get good at what he's doing. We tried the thing where you catch it, flip the glove up, just to see what it's like, and it's crazy hard."
