He was conscious and waved weakly to the crowd as he was taken off. At least, he's still not unconscious.

a line drive tavels faster than the pitch

approx 100 mph very hard ball into the head


did not call time out until the play was over FFS!

severe head injury survival comes down to seconds


strong reminder to always wear a helmut when bicycling, skiing, skateboarding etc

How would you call time out before the play was over?

He was talking to his teammates while laying on the mound at the game, apparently never lost consciousness.

He is (obviously) in hospital, conscious, alert, undergoing tests. The hospital he is at has a great reputation, as per informed sources on twitter.

pardon my ignorance, what is a "line drive"?
a player hits the ball in a straight line


the fastest ball in baseball is a line drive

a pitcher throws at 90 mph

a line drive goes over 100 mph

Scary when you see stuff like this. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and back on the mound shortly.
