你是身心障礙者可以打棒球球嗎?Can People with Disabilities Play Baseball? | 潘瑋杰 PAN WEI CHIEH | TEDxRenai Road
從那一天起,當瑋杰發現自己再也拿不起最喜歡的玩具車,他的世界也悄悄改變。手部肌肉的漸進萎縮,讓他在成長過程中被同學取了「大小手」的綽號,也讓他不得不面對一個殘酷的現實——未來的身體會越來越不聽使喚。然而,家人從不願意承認他是身障者;瑋杰也一度希望自己「和別人一樣」。直到有一天,他看見一群身障者揮動著球棒、疾奔球場——那畫面像極了現實版的 X 戰警:快速、靈活、有力。那一刻,他第一次看見「不同」也可以如此強大。接觸棒球後,他重新定義了「位置」這個詞:
不是在場上的守備點,而是在生命裡找到屬於自己的舞台。之後的十多年,他不僅創立了中華民國身障棒壘球協會,讓更多身障者能站上球場,更推動台灣與國際接軌,建立比賽規章與資源系統;他也走入社區與學校,讓年長者、女性、甚至那些「以為自己不能打棒球」的人,都能重新拿起球棒,體驗運動的自由與尊嚴。最後,瑋杰邀請大家一同上場——
因為在這個球場上,不論身體如何,每個人都能找到屬於自己的節奏、自己的力量、自己的「位置」。It all began the day Pan Wei-chieh realized he could no longer lift his favorite toy car. The gradual atrophy of his hand muscles brought uncertainty and pain, earning him the nickname “Big and Small Hands” among classmates. His family never acknowledged him as a person with a disability, and for years, Wei-chieh himself longed to be “just like everyone else.”Everything changed the day he saw a group of players with disabilities hitting baseballs with lightning speed and precision — like real-life X-Men, moving beyond their physical limits. For the first time, he saw that being different could also mean being powerful.Baseball became his turning point.
It taught him that finding one’s “position” isn’t just about where you stand on the field — it’s about discovering where you belong in life.Over the following years, he founded the Chinese Taipei Association of Adaptive Baseball and Softball, creating opportunities for people with disabilities to play and compete. He built bridges with international leagues, standardized rules, and opened the game to new groups — including seniors, women, and anyone who once thought they couldn’t play.In this talk, Wei-chieh invites everyone to step onto the field —
to embrace their differences, find their rhythm, and play the game of life with courage and joy. 社團法人中華民國身障棒壘球協會 | 創始人暨理事長
