About Katelyn
Limb Difference: Congential
Type: Left Arm (phocomelia)
Sport: Softball
Katelyn Pavey was born with phocomelia, a rare birth defect characterized by underdeveloped or absent limbs. She has half a left arm with two digits just below the elbow. In regards to softball, Pavey’s throwing glove transition is less than a quarter of a second slower than any other player’s method.
As a left-handed hitter, she chokes the bat with her right hand and steadies it with her half arm at the plate. She made the switch from righty at an early age for more control. Watch Katelyn’s adaptive bat trick video!

“NubAbility has really opened up my eyes. Don’t blink, you don’t want to
miss God at work during camp. NubCamp has helped me embrace my own limb
difference and who I am. Every time I volunteer, it makes an impact on
myself and others.” - Katelyn Pavey
