I researched it and Jay Happ received a fractured skull behind his ear, cut on his ear, and a sprained knee that happened when he fell to the ground. After rehab he returned to pitch in August of that year.
It's so awesome how players on both teams and fans showed that only thing on their mind during the vital moments after the trauma Happ received was Happ's well being.
Forget about what team you're rooting for when it comes to things like this, you don't want to see no one get hurt like that. Even that brought tears 😢 to my eyes 👀.
***** Almost, but not the riskiest. Because yes he can get hit by a pitch, but the batter is wearing a helmet so if it hit his head, it wouldnt hurt very bad. But for the pitcher, the batter can hit the ball hard and it probably travels much harder and faster than a pitch when it's a line drive. And the pitcher's head is not protected. The head is the one place you dont want to get hit. Hard enough of a hit, it can lead to a serious concussion or worse.
It is the riskiest position in baseball. There is so many injuries that can happen to a pitcher, a wide range of the common UCL snapping, requiring Tommy John surgery, or getting hit in the head with a baseball.
I hate the fact that he got hurt but I love how everyone was so worried for him and at the end everyone claps even the people on the opposite team and that right there is humanity and a good team player when the other team feels sorry for the other player. God bless him and everyone who felt sorry and clapped a sign of respect and hope that he is ok
They have masks any pitcher can wear but they block your vision where it’s needed so they are useless. But catchers have to wear protection cause foul balls and tips are unpredictable and more prominent then line drives making contact with people.
The defining silence and reverence out of respect and class, empathy and caring understanding for Happ was one of the most surreal things I've ever seen in sport. Yes it's MLB and they are professional players competing for a common goal; at the same time, they are human where injuries can happen at any given and unexpected time...no matter what. Period. They acted like men in the face of something as frightening as this injury was to watch happen.
One thing people dnt understand until you play baseball is each team has their rivals. It may get physical but at the end of the day we all come togather when someone is hurt baseball is a family and a brotherhood
Seeing this still to this day was just terrible to see and everyone showed compassion and respect for this man.. another note he finished the season 20-4 3.18era I think.. yall stay blessed out there
Speaking of fortitude ! I couldn't imagine standing on the mound after this, and thinking, " Here we go again ", with each new pitch ! But yet he came back strong ! Wow ! Just incredible ! ⚾ 👍😉 ⚾

I can't bear to see line drives like this. I love baseball but this was awful. I not only felt bad for Happ but for the player who batted the line drive.

With any sport there a high risk of injury. My heart sunk when I saw what happened. ..omgosh I pray that he's doing good now. Someone please give an update please!
Happ came back and was better than ever winning 20 games in 2016. This was beyond scary and could have ended his career but boy was he strong to come back. I will always have great respect for JA Happ.
@@tatianadaniel3569 Would make them slower because of the added weight and constrict their movement I think. But I still hope that they can figure out a better alternative than just going without any protection, because these type of injuries can be really horrible.
I remember seeing this on Tv and that was the scariest thing I've ever seen in a ball game, I think back to a game in little league when I took a line drive in my pitching hand, which sprained it but that was little league, this is the major leagues where the pitch is coming in at up to 100 MPH, miracle he didn't suffer a more serious injury.
The protective headgear for pitchers they're developing might look odd, but I'll take looking weird over a projectile moving as fast a freaking *car* smashing into my face any day of the week.
the main reason pitchers don't wear it is because it kinda messes up the way they pitch. I agree with you completely tho. I pitch and I hit the ground as soon as a ball is hit because I have no protection.
Esto no es la primera vez que, ya es hora de dar protección también a los lanzadores; estás pelotas causan graves daños en la cabeza. Reitero ya es tiempo de proteger al lanzador.
one of the reasons professional baseball is the most beautiful sport to observe, is because it sits right on top of pure ecstasy and humbling tragedy. It can go from being a breathtaking sport to watch, to being a sport where a players life can be on the line in the blink of an eye. Baseball players are always on the edge of peril, because that baseball can and will, go anywhere and do whatever it wants.
Reminds me of the game on the same day (5-7) in 1957 where Gil McDougald of the Yankees hit the line drive that hit Herb Score in the face, breaking bones in his face, leaving him bloodied, and ending his season. Score was never the same again.
This happen to one of my coaches. We were practicing and his son came up and hit a line drive straight at his dad. Broke his cheek bone in three different places.
es bastante lamentable que sigan pasando este tipo de accidentes por la terquedad de no enseñarles a todos los picher a quedar parados de frente antes eso era esencial ahora los que les ineresa es la velocidad poniendo en riesgo la vida de ellos tienen que tener consiencia
Even though this is more than a few years ago, my second thought after watching him get hit was they continued to finish the play before anyone decided to come to his aide??? Really? Great teammates.
Anyone can be an emt or save someone's life with training. Being an pro athlete takes talent. Not everyone can throw 100 fast balls or run the 1000 dash in a record time. Not everyone can dunk a 10ft High net or kick a 60 yard field goal. Etc. Be the best you can be and respect others for what you can't do.
05:56 .. Argument breaks out & NOW they wanna get him up onto the stretcher & drown out what happens. Literally, all I wanna know is what happened. Did they keep their hands to themselves?
Bro as a softball player and that happened to me as a pitcher yes ik we wear face shields but that would nail the side of my head he is handling it well so ie everyone else
What took so long to get someone by his side!!! I played softball when I was in my twenties and I was at bat and when I swung the ball came right up to my ear at my temple. Thank God I had glasses on. I was a right-handed batter and the helmet doesn't cover that ear it covers the outside ear. I can't even imagine what this guy is going through. I was out of it for about 3 or 4 days I had had a concussion and went to the hospital as well even two days later after it happened it was horrible.

It’s not fair that baseball can be such a dangerous sport. The videos of pitches thrown that hurt players, batted balls that drop players, men running into the out field walls trying to stop a ball. It’s painful to see the injuries. It doesn’t matter how old the videos are, the pain, suffering and worries come shinning through.
I remember there was a pitcher(cant remember who) who got drilled in the head, he somehow managed to convince the Mgr to keep him in to pitch the rest of the inning. He ended up passing out in the dugout after that inning and ended up having a serious brain bleed that required surgery.
It's kind of bullshit that both runners just scored right after he got hit. That's kind of a dick move because those are his earned runs and he couldn't do anything about it
I wish the best for him...head injures are terrible. I got a head injury myself back in '92, when we had the LA riots. I was in the middle of the riot's and got hit in the head with a board or bat or ??...I woke up in the hospital, that was in 1992, and now till this day in 2017...I still get headaches almost every day. So I Wish him the best!
Does anyone know how serious the injury was? Jus seein this now (2020)...... That was scary! I hope he didn't lose his eyesight & eventually went back to pitch. I can only imagine the emotions he'd be feelin if he did get the chance to play again! I hope he did eventually get back to pitching!!!
Maaaan, you wanna talk about a SPIRIT BREAKER!!! I mean, WHO would even want to continue playing after having to witness THIS!! Geeeeez, I pray that it's NOT as bad as it looked!!😲😖🙏❤
I am sorry to see this happen. Once a pitcher delivers the ball, he becomes a fielder. They come down in a vulnerable position. I see so many balls go up the middle for base hits that score runs. He has to get that glove up or else!
You would just stand there and let someone disrespect your significant other? Perhaps her intervening prevented her husband from retaliating physically and getting them throw out of the game . There's also nothing she can do to help the pitcher. If anything, be mad at the person putting hands on her husband.
The MLB is competition at its highest levels, as you can see with bench clearing brawls. But, take note of the dichotomy here, and where true passions lie. In the brawls teammates form two separate battle lines. But, when a fellow player gets injured like this they are all part of one team: major league ball players, who, in the end, lookout for each other with significance as the key factor. Baseball is really a game (a very great game) that pales in comparison to life.
Happ rebounded from this injury and became a 20-game winner in 2016 posting a record of 20-4 with a 3.18 era. Good for him!

@MUFC Where did you go to school, Detroit? There are only 195 sovereign nations on earth. Go troll somewhere else.
@MUFC
What does that have to do with the cost of coffee beans in Brazil?
It reminds me of Giancarlo Stanton’s horrible “Hit by Pitch”. The opposing team’s Dr. came out. He was busted open pretty bad.
I researched it and Jay Happ received a fractured skull behind his ear, cut on his ear, and a sprained knee that happened when he fell to the ground. After rehab he returned to pitch in August of that year.
Jesus. He's lucky to be alive.
Thanks for sharing
Wow that was hard to watch. Glad he’s up and doing what he loves to do
Praise the Lord he’s back to playing Baseball ⚾️. 🙏✝️🤗
@SMcCaskill Thank you for the info. Greetings
I am glad to see the trainers from the other teams coming out for these kind of injuries. All that experience can only help the situation.
Just me depends what parts your in=the south😂
hutch1111111 the tigers have not went out to help they are just looking at him like he's stupid that's what the tigers think about them
@No One no that’s not rare in America. That’s what the trainers are for to help the player who got hurt.

They are obligated too as medical professionals.
No matter what side your cheering for..! When someone gets hurt, both sides feel it. 🙏
As they should!
Yes, but when pitchers hit batters intentionally I don-t know.
Technically only the person who got hit feels it….
I call a Pitcher taking a Ball to the Squash Justice.
Yes indeed. I have been injured in my baseball seasons to where I got carted off the field

Tyler Pope No being a catcher is ten riskiest one because, the ball can swoop around and hit the back of your left trust me it happens to me
It's not

Watching this 7 years later, not sure why it came up on my channels BUT 🥺😳... GUTWRENCHING to watch him fall and motionless from the *PAIN*
A catcher gets to wear a protective face/head helmet; why the pitcher don’t??
They can.. It's just that none of them choose to.
They have masks any pitcher can wear but they block your vision where it’s needed so they are useless. But catchers have to wear protection cause foul balls and tips are unpredictable and more prominent then line drives making contact with people.
Try throwing a ball 95mph with a mask on

I don't understand why they don't call the ball dead as soon as this happens. Just award everyone one base.
Are you stupid
+juanloko2 They Want to win. They couldn't of went more but they only went 1 base. It was just a run. That's why. If Help, Plz Sub xD
Are you?
It should be 1 base and then call the play dead. This is a mans life in question and baseball can chill the fuck out and deal with the serious issues.
I hate how opposing players always use that as an opportunity to keep running. Obviously the other team clearly cared in this situation but they should just stop. And ik this was 2 years ago but it showed up on my recommendation feed
It's a wonder this doesn't happen more often. There is nothing you can do and you can't react fast enough the ball comes off the bat so fast.
That ball coming off that bat was likely going close to 110 mph. And it's coming for the head. Yikes!
Yes I always think about the pitcher being so close and really not having much time to move or react to a hit ball coming their way 😳
the fact he is still alive is beyond a miracle
Lmao
Beyond!!! Like.....I lit think its the first time in sports.....any sport ever.....someone's been hit with a ball! Freak accident! Absolute MIRACLES

Kyra Jay that’s why you always gotta wear that helmet as a softball pitcher reaction time sometimes just isn’t quick enough
Happened to me playing shortstop. At almost 66 I still have a scar.
The comebacker is what scared me out of pitching. All it took was one near-miss in junior high, and that was it for me.

Jennings needs to take that smirk off his face. That was not a fun thing to do when there is an injured player on the field. Show the player respect.
Your right
I was just about to post the same thing. That smirk made me livid!!!!
you can see the fear on Jennings face also
There's was other pitcher got hit two weeks ago. I don't know, how he made out ? ⚾️ ?
Una posición muy peligrosa, se debe de implementar el uso de careta y pechera para evitar fuertes lesiones
I wish the best for him...head injures are terrible. I got a head injury myself back in '92, when we had the LA riots. I was in the middle of the riot's and got hit in the head with a board or bat or ??...I woke up in the hospital, that was in 1992, and now till this day in 2017...I still get headaches almost every day. So I Wish him the best!
I never want to see this happen , we all have to get along and love our neighbors
Does anyone know how serious the injury was? Jus seein this now (2020)...... That was scary! I hope he didn't lose his eyesight & eventually went back to pitch. I can only imagine the emotions he'd be feelin if he did get the chance to play again! I hope he did eventually get back to pitching!!!
Maaaan, you wanna talk about a SPIRIT BREAKER!!! I mean, WHO would even want to continue playing after having to witness THIS!! Geeeeez, I pray that it's NOT as bad as it looked!!😲😖🙏❤
MLB should do more to protect the players from this type of injury
I am sorry to see this happen. Once a pitcher delivers the ball, he becomes a fielder. They come down in a vulnerable position. I see so many balls go up the middle for base hits that score runs. He has to get that glove up or else!
Omg. Had a cousin killed that way. Pray he is ok
Any1 else hear the fight at 5 57
You would just stand there and let someone disrespect your significant other? Perhaps her intervening prevented her husband from retaliating physically and getting them throw out of the game . There's also nothing she can do to help the pitcher. If anything, be mad at the person putting hands on her husband.

The MLB is competition at its highest levels, as you can see with bench clearing brawls. But, take note of the dichotomy here, and where true passions lie. In the brawls teammates form two separate battle lines. But, when a fellow player gets injured like this they are all part of one team: major league ball players, who, in the end, lookout for each other with significance as the key factor. Baseball is really a game (a very great game) that pales in comparison to life.
