Nick's Story
Nick Hoffman was taking batting practice with his Centerville High School baseball teammates, swinging away in the batting cage. The pitching machine was cranked up high and delivering an unpredictable variety of pitches. For one fateful pitch, Nick decided not to swing for the fences, but to try hitting a bunt. Nick has aspired to a career in professional baseball for years — since he was just old enough to pick up a ball and throw it across the family room, according to his mother, Molly Hoffman. A serious hand injury at this stage of the game was certainly a cause for concern. Watch NIck's story.
