Beschreibung | Chad Robert Bentz (born May 5, 1980) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. Bentz grew up in Juneau, and he made history on April 7, 2004 by becoming the second pitcher, after Jim Abbott, to play in the Major Leagues 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. In 2013, Bentz was named pitching coach for the Castleton State baseball program. |
