It's a rough time being a pitcher. If you're not getting hit in the head by a line drive, you're needing Tommy John surgery.
I saw the replay last night late on ESPN. It was very hard to watch. Thankfully, he's going to be ok, outside of a broken orbital bone which needed a metal plate. I don't know how they can be sure he won't get headaches, or develop vision issues. I hope they are right, and that he makes a full recovery.
Something needs to be done to help protect pitchers. Maybe something they can wear under the hat. Of course, this hit him in the face. Unless MLB is going to require pitchers wear a Hannibal Lector mask, or a Lebron James mask, I don't know what they can do.
