If you don't like things that look painful, don't watch this.

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.

ESPN said it richocheted off of behind his ear, not his forehead. 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.
