A college sophomore made history Friday night as the first athlete with a prosthetic leg to play in an NCAA Division I baseball game.

East Carolina University’s Parker Byrd, 20, drew a walk in his season-opening first appearance at the plate against New Jersey’s Rider University.

Byrd was injured in a July 23, 2022, boating accident in a creek near the Pamlico River when the propeller damaged both legs, which ultimately required the partial amputation of one, according to ECU.

One of Vassar's starting pitchers also has a prosthetic leg. Pretty impressive kid in all sorts of ways. Amazing what people can do if they believe they can and get support along the way.
