Oakland Pitcher Chris Bassitt Hit In The Head-This Video Is Hard To Watch

Chris Bassitt of the Oakland Athletics was “conscious and aware” on his way to the hospital after being hit in the head by a line drive during Tuesday’s 9-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

Bassitt, 32, immediately collapsed after being struck by the ball in the second inning, which came off Brian Goodwin’s bat at 100.1 miles per hour. But according to a Tweet by the team, and a statement from Manager Bob Melvin, Bassitt, never lost consciousness. “We don’t think the eye is a problem at this point,” Melvin said. “It felt like it was below it. He’s got some cuts. They had to do some stitches. He’s in a scan and we’ll know more about potential fractures or whatever tomorrow.”
