MIAMI — In the restless hours after a 98-mph fastball struck his right arm Tuesday night, Scott Kingery re-lived it by parking himself in front of a computer and watching the replay.
But here’s what really made the Phillies rookie wince: Hearing it.
“I mean, it kind of hit me and I was like in a little bit of a shock,” Kingery said Wednesday. “But in the video, it sounded like it hit bone. It echoes out there. It sounded a lot worse than it was.”
Fortunately for Kingery, the pitch from Miami Marlins reliever Tayron Guerrero hit only muscle.
