Johns Hopkins pitcher Cole Jefferson was born deaf, and since he was 10 months old, he has worn cochlear implants to hear and develop his speech. At times, he needs to look directly at people talking to him to read their lips.

So, retiring some of Division III’s top batters can pale in comparison.

“I feel like I’m pretty well suited to deal with those situations,” the 6-foot, 180-pound senior right-hander said. “Part of that is already having to deal with challenges throughout my own life.”
