Martin, left, a 'wounded warrior,' tosses the ball with Charlie Wu, right, during a Fantasy Baseball Training Camp in the Lee County Sports Complex on Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013 in Fort Myers, Fla. Martin was wounded in Iraq where he served as a Marine sergeant. Motived by Martin's coach, Rick Miller, he was able to start swinging the bat as a lefty, instead of with his right. 'I never would have expected I could do this,' Marin said.
