Tanner Gresham, former Army West Point pitcher now in the Philadelphia Phillies minor league system, shares his remarkable journey of resilience and determination through baseball, military service, and recovery from Tommy John surgery.

• Son of a minor league baseball player who reached AAA level and briefly made the majors
• Chose West Point for its prestigious education and post-graduation opportunities
• Balanced the intense demands of being a cadet athlete with rigorous academics and military obligations
• Underwent Tommy John surgery that gave him "two UCLs" in his pitching arm
• Completed an accelerated 11-month recovery instead of the typical 14-18 months
• Posted a 2.70 ERA with the Trenton Thunder in the MLB Draft League
• Applied for the World-Class Athlete Program to continue professional baseball while serving in the military
• Working toward potential selection for Team USA Baseball at the 2028 Olympics
• Credits surrounding himself with like-minded people as key to his success
• Lives by the philosophy that the only two things you control are effort and attitude
