Beatrice Galaz is suing the Los Angeles Angels after her six-year-old son, Bryson, was struck by a baseball thrown by pitcher Keynan Middleton during pregame warmups in 2019, per Amy Taxin of the Associated Press.
Middleton was throwing with a teammate, who was unable to catch his toss. The ball hit Bryson, who was walking along the first row with his father, fracturing his skull and causing brain damage.
Galaz's lawsuit argues that the team should provide more netting around the field and warmups shouldn't take place where spectators are present before the game since the team reportedly encouraged fans to arrive early and meet the players, per Taxin.
