This was a pic taken tonight at a prayer vigil for
@parkerbyrd11
at Scotland High School
You can tell how much of an impact he and his family have had on their community.
I’m proud that he is a Pirate 🏴☠️
If our whole baseball team is working even half as hard as
@parkerbyrd11
has been, we’re a lock for Omaha this year
This kid is gonna step up to the plate one day and it’s gonna be electric
Parker Byrd from
@ECUBaseball
is here tonight with The Challenged Athletes Foundation throwing out the first pitch.
Today, we celebrate Parker’s accomplishments and all he has overcome.
We ambushed
@parkerbyrd11
while leaving his appointment tonight!
A lot more wanted to come, but had a scheduling change!
Everyone here sits out in The Jungle!
We loaned him a megaphone to help him remember:
“We are ALL cheering you on”
It’s a blessing to be a blessing 🏴☠️
5 days ago I posted that the biggest moment of 2024 will be when
@parkerbyrd11
gets his first collegiate AB
Well I just got this from his dad, and he gave me permission to post
I’m choking up writing this
Parker recorded his first collegiate hit today
I don’t really know how…
Watching
@parkerbyrd11
in his recovery from his boating accident reminds me of the mentality of someone.
@jockowillink
and his focus and relentlessness discipline.
No Excuses…. Work harder
I’m proud that this guys is a Pirate 🏴☠️
UPDATE:
I saw a $1321 donation notification… & asked, “why $1321?”
Meet Easlyn Hall (10), she has a GameDay Lemonade stand, and wanted proceeds to go to Parker.
Beckham & Zeke helped!
They raised $1321!
The world needs more of this 🏴☠️

for the first time
#EyeBallSweat
This kid & his family have been THRU IT this last 3.5 weeks.
There are still more surgeries to go thru, more rehab, more adjusting, and more faith challenging times… but praise the Lord, Parker is alive and has been discharged!

lost his leg in a boating accident — but he is determined to play once again.
Had to shoot out a quick post…
Thank you
@parkerbyrd11

Our little man had his 2nd game with machine pitch…. And went 2 for 2 (didn’t have you use the tee)!
When he looked up and saw that you were cheering for him after he got…
Today i got some of the best news of my life, after my most recent scans and bloodwork, i’m proud to say that i am 100% CANCER FREE and in remission! I am very thankful for everyone who reached out and supported me, it was truly a life changing experience.
UNC pitcher Cameron Padgett has a perspective rare for a 19-year-old after his close friend had a leg amputated following a boating accident. A tattoo on Padgett's arm is a tribute to ECU's Parker Byrd, who plays with a prosthetic leg.

Parker Byrd (‘22 N.C.) has made some physical gains & it’s starting to show in the box. Strong hands as he stays short to the ball. Pulls one into the 5-6 hole here for an early base knock. Hustles out of box & ends up at second due to lazy OF play. Gamer here.

ECU baseball has picked up a BIG commitment for the 2022 class in Calvert Hall College High School (Maryland) C/1B Lamar King (6-3, 195).
King is ranked the 38th-best player nationally in the 2022 class by Perfect Game.
What a freaking game.
Our boys are battling their asses off.... I’m damn proud of them.
Hell no, I’m not happy with the walkoff.... there are no moral victories.
Proud?
Hell yeah
I am blessed and honored to announce my commitment to continue my baseball and academic career at the University Of North Carolina at Wilmington. All the glory to God. I want to thank all the coaches, players, and people who have helped me get to where I am at today.

Really nice look here at Jake Hunter (2021 NC) working 88-89 mph with good sink from an almost sidearm angle. Sweeping curve in mid 70s for strikes.
