The Fire Inside — Brezlyn Hagemeister’s Rise to the Top

Brezlyn Hagemeister doesn’t back down from challenges—she rises through them.

A sophomore at Ridgeview High School, Brezlyn made headlines this season as one of the most dominant pitchers in the state. She played a key role in leading her team to a state championship and earned a reputation as one of the top arms in Oregon—regardless of classification. But her success isn’t just about talent. It’s about grit, resilience, and the fire that’s been building inside her for years.

Brezlyn was diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and has faced doubters ever since. Some people saw her diagnosis as a limitation. She saw it as motivation. Every time someone underestimated her, she used it to fuel her growth—on and off the field.

We had the privilege of working with Brezlyn at Specialty Athletic Training shortly after she received her diagnosis, and even back then, her determination was undeniable. She showed up ready to work and never made excuses—even while managing a chronic health condition.

With the unwavering support of her family, her teammates, and her loyal companion “Scout,” Brezlyn has turned adversity into strength. She’s become a leader, a competitor, and an inspiration to other young athletes navigating similar challenges.

Her story is one of perseverance and purpose. And the best part? She’s only a sophomore.
We couldn’t be prouder to have played a small role in Brezlyn’s journey. From her early training days with us to her latest championship run, she continues to prove what’s possible when passion meets hard work.

Congratulations, Brezlyn—we’re all rooting for you. And we can’t wait to see what’s next.
