During the 2026 season, @keybank will highlight the βKey Player of the Homestandβ.
Braylen Wimmer filled up the stat sheet during Opening Weekend, and his comeback story is even bigger than the box score.
Key Bank - meeting you in the βlife just threw me a curveβ moment.
5 months ago Braylen Wimmer had a seizure on his way to an @MLBazFallLeague game, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 18 days later, he underwent a craniotomy. Last night, Wimmer started in centerfield for the Yard Goats, and scored a run at the plate. That's perseverance π
I wanted to give an update and have you hear it from me.
On November 19th, I had an awake craniotomy at OU Health with Dr. Ian Dunn, and Iβm grateful to say the surgery was successful.
I lost my speech for a couple of days afterward. Thatβs why I am just now getting this out. Those were some of the scariest moments of my life. But Iβm back on track, speaking, fighting, and ready to push forward.
The second photo is a selfie I took while awake during surgery. Ryan Sharp inspired me to take this. Iβm so lucky I have found him for this process. He and his family have been a beacon throughout this journey, and their guidance and support have meant the world.
To everyone who has prayed, messaged, donated, or shown love, thank you so much. The support from my family, friends, teammates, the Gamecock family, the Rockies organization, and my girlfriend has carried me through some of the hardest days Iβve ever faced. I couldnβt do this without you guys. When my girlfriend asked, βWhy you?β I told her: I was chosen to fight. This has been the hardest month of my life, and I know the road ahead wonβt be easy. But I will not quit. I will fight every single day to get back to my life and my dreams.
One step at a time. One day at a time. Iβm strong. Iβm coming back. I can do this.
Thank you all for lifting me up. I canβt thank you enough. β€οΈ
βI can handle this β¦ and maybe that's my purpose, so one day I can help others through similar cases.β - @BraylenWimmer08
