A 92.7 mph line drive smashed Colorado Rockies pitcher Ryan Feltner in the head on Saturday night, putting him in the hospital.
“He’s under observation at a local hospital, undergoing a litany of exams and tests— we’ll know more in the morning,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. The hurler was able to walk off the field but was clearly dazed.
“It happens, and then I felt like I was running to first base because it was my job,” the Phillies batter, Nick Castellanos, said. “Instantly what I thought was, like, ‘Holy [expletive], I hit him.’ There was a part of me that wanted to go to the mound, but I guess the baseball player takes over and you go to first. As soon as I touched first, I turned around and was just really hoping that what happened didn’t happen.
