A Pitch of Faith: Fox Nation explores the medical downfall, comeback of Yankee prospect Ty Hensley
Fox News
In a new Fox Nation special, "Pitch of Faith", Fox News explores the story of Ty Hensley, a once promising New York Yankees prospect born into a professional baseball family, who had everything going for him until life-threatening injuries hit.
Selected by the Bronx Bombers in the first round of the 2012 draft, turning down college ball at Ole Miss, Hensley tells Fox Nation how he was overjoyed at the opportunity. Hensley began his professional career in the Yankee's minor league affiliate in Tampa, but tragedy struck during a team training outing to the Dominican Republic. The pitcher told Fox Nation that he heard a "pop" in his stomach area while pitching in the D.R., and upon showing Yankee staff, was rushed back to the United States for medical attention.More Related News
