As the 16-year-old Perry High School student played catch with his coach on a cloudy day, it was clear you could not steal his sunshine.During a 2021 tournament game in Columbus, Witmer suffered multiple facial fractures and a traumatic brain injury after colliding with a catcher as they both raced toward a foul ball.

It was a long process, but Bryan recovered, had surgery on his face and took more than a year off from playing ball. "I feel like God was always with me through this. It's been a rough, rough two years and I feel like he's been there." "It stands for a lot," she said."There's hope that you can overcome things and that you can give back. Always give back," she said.
