Lewis Brinson is typically an outfielder, but he showed some versatility Friday night and tried out a new defensive position. Brinson served as catcher for Hailey Dawson, who threw out the honorary first pitch at Marlins Park prior to the game against the Mets.

Hailey was born with Poland syndrome, which stunted the development of the fingers on her right hand. This #JourneyTo30 aims to raise awareness about the disease.

Students at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) have engineered a 3-D printed robotic hand, allowing her to live like a normal kid.
