New York Yankees relief pitcher Anthony Misiewicz was carted off the field Friday night after a 100 mph comebacker hit him in the head.
The line drive came off the bat of Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Ji-hwan Bae, who hit a 1-2 curveball straight back to the pitching mound. The ball hit Misiewicz on the left side of his face, and he fell to the ground in pain. He retained consciousness and rolled on the ground while clutching his head.
The ball ricocheted off Misiewicz's head and into right field. Trainers immediately ran to tend to Misiewicz as his Yankees teammates gathered near the mound. He was helped to his feet and placed on a cart, where he sat upright as he was driven off the field.
The Yankees later announced that Misiewicz was "alert and oriented" and transported to a local hospital for further testing.
The incident took place in the sixth inning as the Pirates tied the game at 3-3 on the Bae line drive, which scored Joshua Palacios from third base. Zach McAllister took Misiewicz's place on the mound, and the Pirates came out of the inning with a 5-3 lead. New York won the game 7-5.
Misiewicz, 28, is in his fourth MLB season. He joined the Yankees midseason off waivers after stints with the Detroit Tigers, Arizona Diamondbacks, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Mariners.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
