New York Yankees relief pitcher Anthony Miejewicz was carted off the field after a 100 mph comebacker hit him in the head Friday night.
The line drive came off the bat of Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Bae Ji-Hwan, who hit a 1-2 curve straight back to the pitching mound. The ball struck Misiewicz in the left side of the face and he fell to the ground in pain. He remained conscious and rolled on the ground, holding his head.
