布里特·阿普格出生时右手残疾,仅有半个手掌而没有手指1。尽管身体限制,她在女子职业棒球联赛选秀中从600多名选手中脱颖而出1,被洛杉矶皇后队在第三轮选中1。
阿普格将在2025年夏季代表皇后队参赛1,球队将于8月1日对阵纽约队进行首场比赛1。她通过创新击球和投球技术以及密集训练克服了身体限制1,其中她的父亲汤姆通过研究无右手的前大联盟投手吉姆·阿博特的技术来教导她1。
阿普格曾在高中因身体原因被棒球队开除,随后转向垒球1。在3月参加WPBL训练营时,她在击球时打伤了残肢1。医院特种外科医院正在为她定制义肢,配备凝胶衬里和钩形延伸物1。
Britt Apgar, who was born without a right hand and has only half a palm with no fingers, has been selected by the Los Angeles Royals in the third round of the Women's Professional Baseball League draft 1. She will represent the team during the 2025 summer season 1.
Apgar emerged from a pool of more than 600 candidates to earn this opportunity 1. Her path to professional baseball required overcoming significant physical limitations through innovative adaptations to batting and pitching techniques, developed with intensive training supported by family and friends 1.
Her father, Tom, played a key role in her preparation by studying the techniques of Jim Abbott, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who also pitched without a right hand, to teach his daughter 1. In high school, Apgar was cut from the baseball team due to her disability but subsequently transitioned to softball 1.
During a training camp for the WPBL in March, Apgar injured her residual limb while batting 1. She is now being fitted with a custom prosthetic by Hospital for Special Surgery, designed with a gel liner and hook extension 1.
The Los Angeles Royals will begin their season on August 1 with their first game against the New York team 1.
