Cory Hahn's baseball career was cut short when a play at second base fractured the C5 vertebrae in his neck
It left him paralyzed from the chest down
His injury came in just his third game playing for Arizona State. In 2013, the D-backs made Hahn their 34th-round pick, and a year later the team hired him to work in the front office
Hahn has also created the charity Project 34 to support people with spinal cord injuries
Cory Hahn’s bright potential as a player ended prematurely, but through the adversity he faced in the aftermath of his life-changing injury, he has found fulfillment in baseball and life.
He is Baseball America's 2024 Trailblazer of the Year.
