MOBILE, Ala (WPMI) Baseball players are known for their hand eye coordination and power at the plate. 

A pair of South Alabama players find strength in each other and refuse to let their medical condition put them in a slump. 

Graham Odom and Jeff DeBlieux have both been diagnosed with Type I diabetes. 

Odom wears an insulin pump at all times while DeBlieux gives himself insulin shots a couple of times a day. 

The players say they feel stronger now that they know how to fight the disease.  Having a teammate that knows exactly what they are going through is a big help as well.
