Chad Bentz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chad Robert Bentz (born on May 5, 1980 in Seward, Alaska) is a Major League Baseball pitcher in the Cincinnati Reds organization. Bentz grew up in Juneau, and he made history in 2004 by becoming the second pitcher, after Jim Abbott, to play the sport after being born without one of his hands. Bentz fields and catches with his glove the same way Abbott did when he played in the 1980s and early 1990s. Like Abbott, Bentz has a deformed right hand. As a freshman in college, Bentz met Abbott who became his mentor. Bentz is currently playing for Louisville Bats, which is the AAA affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.
