Pompey injury in WBC on slide into second base
Dalton Pompey sustained a minor injury during an attempted steal, while playing for Team Canada in the WBC. Pompey was sliding in second base on the attempted steal, and came up feeling a little bit dizzy.
The league doesn’t mess around with concussion protocol at the best of times, but especially not during the World Baseball Classic. MLB teams have been a reluctant partner for the tournament, because of concerns around player injury.
It doesn’t sound as though Pompey’s injury is serious, but any time the word “concussion” is thrown around, there is an established protocol that must be followed in order to ensure player safety.
