Fantastic news for this 24 year old. The collision that fractured his C6-C7 vertebrae was horrific.
“I'm currently feeling much better," Lasko wrote on his Instagram story. "I have sensation from my feet up to my knees, along with a lot of involuntary leg movements. I also have been getting some sensation in the side of my thighs, hamstrings and back. I currently have about 75% usage of my left hand and about 50% in my right.
Way to soon to think about him possibly playing again but a huge win for him in the life department!
I missed this story. Holy crap! That must be one of the worst baseball injuries ever.
I think I was watching the last time an NFL player was paralyzed. That's some scary shit.
I think it’s the only time I’ve ever seen it in baseball and man was it just the perfect storm… I honestly thought he wasn’t going to regain the legs after the first week or so when it was reported he still wasn’t having feeling… thank god the swelling went down!
I hadn’t heard about this. That’s a brutal injury. Hopefully he comes all the way back.
That would be perfect given the A’s think highly of him with the Arizona fall league play last year! I was sure he wasn’t going to be able to walk because he had no feeling days later. thank god it seems like it was swelling and so now he’s gaining it back
