TitoMB345 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 If you don't like things that look painful, don't watch this. http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/video/pl...79&c_id=pit Pirates pitcher Chris Jakubauskas was nailed in the head with a line drive off of Lance Berkman's bat. This was his first start of the season, as the 31-year-old was called up Friday morning. I can't believe this guy got up! What a warrior. This is the hardest direct hit of a line drive I have ever seen. The ball bounced off his forehead all the way back to the catcher, in the air. Hopefully he's okay, and I hope I never see something this brutal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 ESPN said it richocheted off of behind his ear, not his forehead. Either way, thats a crushing hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, thats a crushing hit. Ah yeah, on second viewing it does look like he managed to turn his head a split second before getting hit. I also read that he didn't even get a concussion.. lucky guy. Hopefully hes able to make a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyMan56 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hope he makes a full recovery soon. If the catcher caught that ball after the richocet, it would have beat out Buehrle's play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
