He almost quit baseball. Now he's one of MLB's best relievers as a rookie.
Briefly

Cole Henry faced persistent injuries that sidelined him for most of two seasons, including elbow issues and later thoracic outlet syndrome. After finally being diagnosed with muscle strains affecting his performance, he confronted the fear of potentially ending his baseball dreams. However, as he transitioned into a relief role, he flourished unexpectedly in the major leagues, achieving remarkable results, including a 2.14 ERA and excellent performance metrics, defying his troubled past and revitalizing his baseball aspirations.
I'm just sitting in the room in [Class AA] Harrisburg with my wife, and, like, I don't know what's going on.... I feel like I do as much as I possibly can to try to stay healthy and be on the field.
Sure, he never imagined his first appearance in the majors would be out of the bullpen.... Across his first two months in the majors, Henry has a 2.14 ERA and has not allowed a run in 17 of his 18 appearances.
