Knuckleball – it’s a baseball tradition. But the personalities and approach of the knuckleball pitchers themselves tend to be unique. Like kickers in football, their approach to the game has to be less traditional in order to do their job. A knuckleball, which is thrown with the fingertips/fingernails and lazily heads to plate with no spin, is the exact opposite of what most pitchers strive to achieve. But for D1 athlete, R.A. Dickey, being different has been the thing that’s made him a game changer.
As the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner and the only current knuckleball pitcher in the major leagues, R.A. Dickey is in the spotlight every game he pitches. A believer in Jesus, he publicly proclaims his faith and is always ready to speak out, which he has done in a variety of ways over the last few years. From writing books, to media interviews, to participating in causes, the Nashville native integrates his faith story into everything he does – something not a lot of professional athletes strive to do.
R.A.’s story of reaching major league stardom is filled with high moments, setbacks, personal tragedy and triumph, and finally being comfortable with his identity as a player and in Jesus. Watch his story and be inspired from his journey at www.iamsecond.com
