Robby Grasso keeps playing despite diabetes diagnosis
Lehigh first-year outfielder Robby Grasso follows a different pre-game routine after a diabetes diagnosis, but it hasn’t stopped him from competing at the collegiate level.
On a warm spring Friday in Miami, first-year Lehigh outfielder Robby Grasso sat with teammates for a pre-game meal before facing the No. 22 ranked University of Miami Hurricanes. While teammates loaded up on carbs and prepared for the game, Grasso followed a different routine as he manages a diabetes diagnosis — a condition he refuses to let define his baseball career.
