Episode Details

Britt Apgar, born without a right hand, is breaking barriers as the first player with limb difference to join the Women’s Professional Baseball League this summer, set to play for the Los Angeles Queens. With grit forged from childhood lessons to never let her difference define her, she’s mastered unique batting and pitching techniques, adapted her gear, and overcome setbacks—including a high school coach who doubted her. After switching to softball and briefly leaving college to support her family, baseball called her back. Now, with a custom prosthetic in development and orthotics for her feet, she’s training relentlessly, rising through tryouts and drafts to prove that physical limitations don’t dictate potential. Supported by a cheering squad of family and friends who call her “pure sunshine,” Apgar’s journey is a blazing example of resilience, innovation, and the power of never giving up.
