Why This Kid Will Inspire You to Throw like a Girl

Why This Kid Will Inspire You to Throw like a Girl

Not only can 3D printing make cool fashion and even fancier chocolate it can also help improve the lives of people.


Kind of gives new meaning to the term “hand made.”

Hailey’s not the first kid to go bionic with the help of 3D printers but she was recently put on the map because she threw an excellent pitch at a major league baseball game. The Baltimore Sun reports that Hailey threw the first pitch at the Orioles game yesterday in an attempt to show the world how readily available 3D printed limbs are to people in need. Her dad Greg says that Hailey has never let her lack of fingers get her down and that she hopes to one day be a great softball player.

This is a perfect example of why we should all be proud to “throw like a girl.”
