How many more pitchers are going to be seriously injured before head safety gear becomes mandatory?
Another pitcher has been hit in the head by a comeback liner during a Spring Training game.
Earlier this month, newly signed Giants starter Johnny Cueto, threw the first pitch to Oakland Athletics’ outfielder Billy Burns. Although Cueto stated that the smoked ball initially glanced off his glove, it sure looked like it struck his forehead straight on. Amazingly, Cueto stayed in the game and pitched a total of three innings.
