Diagnosed after experiencing leg weakness, Schen carries a rare SOD1 genetic mutation and is now receiving Qalsody, a groundbreaking gene-targeted therapy showing promise in slowing or stabilizing ALS progression. His recent hip replacement surgery — rarely attempted in ALS patients — and unexpected physical improvements have amazed therapists, offering hope for those with this specific genetic form. Schen hopes his appearance will educate fans and inspire awareness, even joking he’ll pitch better than Travis Kelce did at a past event.
