Liam Hendriks – Chicago White Sox Pitcher – Cancer Survivor – Interview

At 33 years old, the All-Star Major League Baseball closing pitcher is a fan favorite and famous for throwing fastballs at blazing speeds. But, at only 33 years old, at the end of the 2022 MLB season, Hendriks made the sobering announcement – he had been diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

The day after that announcement, Hendriks began cancer treatment at Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center in Phoenix, Arizona. His sight was set on beating cancer in time to rejoin his team for the 2023 season.
