Twice in the past week MLB pictchers have been hit directly in the face by a batted ball flying right back at them so fast they couldn't get out of the way. This is more common that you might realize. I'm wondering if MLB should do something to protect pitchers? A helmet? A Face Mask? Pitchers obviously might hate the idea but just throwing it out there?
Noah Davis managed to duck.
Minor league pitcher Tyler Zombro wasn't so lucky
This was SIX days ago
And AGAIN over this past weekend
