Ouch: Dodgers Pitcher Gets Struck In The Head With A Line Drive!
A scary moment occurred during the fourth inning of the Dodgers' 4-3, 11-inning win over the D-backs on Sunday, when Los Angeles rookie right-hander Dustin May was hit in the head by a liner off the bat of Jake Lamb, which led to May's departure.
With the bases loaded and one out, Lamb drove a pitch from May directly back to the righty with an exit velocity of 91.6 mph (per Statcast), hitting him on the right side of the head. May immediately dropped to the ground, holding his head.
May passed the concussion protocol after the game and said he had no headaches or other symptoms, with the injury being described as a head contusion. He said it helped that the ball got a slight piece of his glove before it hit the band on the side of his hat. Posted By PSmooth
