MLB Teams Helping Young Girl with 3-D Printed Hand Throw Out First Pitch at Every Field

Like many other seven year olds, Hailey Dawson is a huge baseball fan and loves to throw fastballs. Hailey differs from other children, however, in that she was born with a disease called Poland Syndrome, and therefore is missing three fingers on her right hand.

But has Hailey ever let that stop her? No way. She now has a 3-D printed hand, controlled by fishing wire, and a dream to throw out the first pitch at every single major league stadium.

Enter Twitter. After Bleacher Report tweeted a video of Hailey’s story, explaining that she wants to throw a pitch at every ballpark, something kind of magical happened.
