A dizzying moment. The pitcher cradled his face.

Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, USA on the 24th (Korean time) when the game between the Cleveland Guardians and the Detroit Tigers was held.

David Fry took a bunt position at the first and third bases with no outs following Cleveland's offense from 0-2 to 1-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning. Detroit starter Tariq Skubal threw a 99.1 mile (about 159.5 km) fastball in 2B1S. Fry hit the ball with the bat, but the deflected ball hit Fry in the face.




Fry soon fell and cradled his face, and the team doctor and trainer immediately ran into the batter's box. Scuval, who saw him hit in front of his eyes, threw his gloves and hat and wrapped his head in agony.

Fry got up on his own, got on the cart and walked off the field. MLB.COM, the official U.S. Major League Baseball website, explained that it is undergoing a thorough examination at Lutheran Medical Center.

As the ball was deflected off the bat, it was treated as a foul, not a dune. George Valera came out as a pinch-hitter, and struck out.




After the game, Cleveland coach Stephen Vogt said "Fry didn't lose consciousness until the end. After undergoing a thorough examination, he is being transferred to the main campus of Cleveland for further examination and observation. There's a good chance he'll be hospitalized for one night" "Everyone is thinking of Fry and his family. It's not a big injury, but it's a relief. A really scary moment" he explained.

Skubal "It was such a difficult moment. I contacted (Fry). There must be a lot of messages on his phone. He looked fine when he left the field, but these injuries could change his condition later on. Health is the most important thing. What's more important than baseball is the safety of players."

Meanwhile, Cleveland succeeded in turning the tables with three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning at 0-2. He was out at the Fry at-bat, but he later allowed Scubal to score a tie with a wild pitch. Cleveland turned the game around when a follow-up batter's grounder added one more point. In the end, he added two points in the bottom of the seventh inning to win the game 5-2.
