Dodgers prospect Patrick Copen is overcoming the challenge of losing vision in his right eye due to an injury caused by a line drive. He expresses gratitude for his support system and finds motivation in connecting with others who've faced similar challenges. Meanwhile, Tommy Edman is emerging as a powerful hitter, notably excelling against left-handed pitching, ranking impressively alongside baseball greats. Copen's remarkable journey highlights resilience, while Edman's performance underscores his unexpected power in the game.
Even though I don't have vision in my right eye, it crosses my mind how it could have been a lot worse. I'm thankful how it turned out. My support system has been there to help me out.
I've been in contact with a handful of other guys in the minor leagues, some who had a major league career and lost vision in an eye completely. They've given me optimism with their words and positive feedback - that it can be done.
It's going to be hard. There are definitely people who say it may be improbable, but it is not impossible by any means.
Edman is, somehow, one of the most powerful switch-hitters of all time when it comes to facing left-handed pitching.
