LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Dallas Cathey has amazed his parents since before he could walk. Friday night, he wowed a live worldwide audience. The 16-year-old Arkansas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired student served as the color analyst for Little Rock's baseball game vs. the University of Tennessee at Martin at Gary Hogan Field streamed live on ESPN+. Cathey was born blind but hasn't used his disability as an excuse. Over the years, he has become a devout baseball enthusiast, in part, by attending his younger brother Holden's travel baseball games.
"I think I could have done better, but I set high standards for myself and am my biggest critic," said Cathey, who is from Warren, a small, rural town in southeast Arkansas.
