This May 10, 2017, photo provided by St. Cloud State University Athletic Media Relations, shows University of Minnesota-Crookston pitcher Parker Hanson pitching against Minnesota State during a college baseball game in St. Cloud, Minn.

Hanson was born without a left hand, but found a way to adapt at a young age so he could pitch, field, bat and play the game he loved.
