Luke Terry is one of the key players to Will North's success.

"He's a second-team All ECIC player, I believe, last year. He hit .340-something last year. He tracks them down in the outfield. He flies around. He hits lead-off. So I think he's an above-average high school varsity baseball player,” said head coach Max Zimmerman.

Above average results coming as Terry overcomes a more than above average limitation: born without a left hand.

"I don't want people to take it easy on me because I only have one hand. I want to prove to them that they have to try if they want to be competitive and win,” he said.

Terry's been playing baseball as far back as he can remember, just figuring out how to do it with one hand while with his dad. The form hasn't changed much through the years; it’s just gotten more fluid and fast as he gets more comfortable.

"I kind of put my left arm on the bottom of the knob of the bat. My right arm, I tend to choke up just a little bit more than most people do. I guess that's the main difference. Other than that, I swing normally like this,” Terry said.

Terry's teammates and coaches treat him like one of the boys, and his play has put him there in the eyes of others.

"I remember a couple years ago I was pitching a seven-inning game and some parents on the other team were talking to my parents didn't realize that I had one hand until after the game was over and I was walking off the mound,” said Terry.

"We played two games against them and it was after the second game that I talked to their head coach and he kind of pointed it out to me because he's so natural with his movements and his abilities that you don't really notice it unless you're really looking for it,” said Zimmerman.

"That feels good for me because it helps me know that I accomplished that goal to not let my play show that I have one hand,” said Terry.

Terry's play will continue at St. John Fisher College next season, accomplishing his goal to play college baseball. He understands how he may be an inspiration to others much like former major league pitcher Jim Abbott was to him, giving words of encouragement in a letter when just a young boy trying to fit in.

Now this 18-year-old is trying to do the same for those beginning the path he's well along.

"My message would be to go out and play as many sports as you want to figure out what your favorite is like I did. Don't focus on what other people think of you. Just try to come out each day and play as best as you can. Then at the end of the day, you'll be content with yourself,” said Terry.

A message with no limitations.
