More than a comeback

In the summer between his freshman and sophomore year of high school, Nate Winters lost his left leg and part of his right in a terrible boating accident. After losing 80 percent of his blood and nine surgeries, he's back on the mound, pitching for Winter Park High School in Florida.

Winters, now a junior, may have limped on the field ,but his fastball clocked 80, and he allowed only one hit and one unearned run in his April 12 comeback.

Read his inspiring story here:
