The Arizona Diamondbacks kicked off their spring training slate by taking on the Arizona State Sun Devils Tuesday at Salt River Fields.

The game’s best moment, however, likely came before it even began.

Former Sun Devil and current D-backs scout Cory Hahn, who was paralyzed while playing college ball, threw out the first pitch.

Hahn was drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 34th round of the 2013 MLB amateur player draft.
