After injury scares and Draft disappointments, Antoine Duplantis ready for one last run

Antoine Duplantis, the man who nearly went his whole career without an injury, laid face first into the warning track without a movement.

He had just collided with the wall during one of the first Team USA exhibitions in Cary, North Carolina, after he misread a deep fly ball and tried to make a last second adjustment.

LSU coach Paul Mainieri panicked. He was serving as Team USA coach and took off from the dugout at full speed. All he could see from a distance was his star outfielder laying face first in the ground.
