Paralyzed ex-player making his mark in D-backs front office

PHOENIX — Cory Hahn had his dream of playing professional baseball snatched away by a freak accident on a baseball diamond.

That forced Hahn to shift his dream to another aspect of baseball: Running a major league team.

A quick study with beyond-his-years baseball knowledge, he appears to be on the fast track toward that goal.

"I don't know if there are enough positive words to say in regards to Cory," Diamondbacks general manager Dave Stewart said. "He's going to be tremendous at this."

A highly touted player when he first arrived at Arizona State in 2011, Hahn has aspirations of one day playing in the big leagues.
