I know two people whose baseball careers ended because they were hit in the face by a baseball. One by a pitch. One by a batted ball. One of them had to have reconstructive surgery on his skull. Both of them have a dead eyeball. One's was recently surgically removed.

Matt Shoemaker wrote a piece for the Players Tribune about what happened when he took a 105mph line drive to the head. Worth a read.

It’s pretty Fucking simple. If you have played the game and still want somebody to take one off the dome you are a shit stain on this beautiful game of baseball and this world in general. Baseball has a way to police itself and headshots are the exact opposite that

Intentionally throw at someone’s head > should be arrested.

[u/Oxigenate]

Old thread so no one will see this but as someone who’s taken just an 80mph fastball to the back of the head, yeah it’s not pleasant at all

First time I saw it live was when Craig Counsel got beamed in the face and it broke his jaw. It was brutal. Would never wish that on anyone.
