Ryan Lasko, once a promising Athletics baseball prospect, is making remarkable progress after a devastating spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Following a brutal collision in June that fractured two vertebrae and required emergency surgery, he’s now been cleared for rehab release — with doctors optimistic he could walk again. Back home in Jackson, New Jersey, he’s embracing small wins: outdoor walks, regained independence, and even home-cooked meals with his girlfriend. Though his dominant throwing arm remains weaker, patience and therapy are driving his recovery. Two months may feel like an eternity, but they’ve also flown by — and Lasko’s determined to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
