Atlanta Braves outfielder Jason Heyward was hit in the jaw by a pitch and taken to a hospital for X-rays. Heyward was struck by a 90 mph fastball from New York Mets left-hander Jonathon Niese in the sixth inning Wednesday. The impact made a loud noise, and the crowd groaned as Heyward crumpled to the ground. He stayed down on his back for about three minutes before getting helped to his feet. Heyward walked slowly off the field under his own power, escorted by a trainer, and was replaced by Jordan Schafer. Source: ESPN
Ouch! I was hit in the jaw with a baseball when I was 15. It wasn't by a 90 mph fastball but still hurt like a snitch.
