Damn, him scrambling around after the hit is what got me scared more than the actual hit
Midwest Mello you’re definitely right. He looks severely concussed and is probably unaware of anything that happening around him which is causing his teammate to have to hold him
That makes no sense. Of course of aftermath of the hit in the scary part
osskeet your sentence didn’t make any sense.
Are you Serious lmao fr🤦🏼♂️🤣
Its like what happens when you shoot a deer
His reaction is so spooky. He threw off his hat and glove like his body was quitting the sport for him.
That analogy is spooky and should be pinned. This stuff is hard to watch
Lmao
His body gave up before he can even think what hit him
@canuckguy worried the brain cells were quiting for him he even had to bend over for them to do mitosis 🤣😭
His balance is off definitely from the impact. What made. It worse was him getting up immediately after the hit. He should've stayed down and let it subside
Seeing him scramble around on the ground throwing his gear off is terrifying. The blank stare he has on his face immediately after is so spooky.
Why?
I think they said he was KO'd and his body was moving on its own?
I remember watching this game on TV and was scared for the guy...
@@lilredwagon5311 yeh, that’s what it looks like, and he started to fall down when he came to.
Like a wounded animal that just got hit by a car or something. Just pure reflex and instincts. Scary.
Happened to me in Little League. Had a headache for 2 years. Woke up one morning pain free and cried all day.
Me too when I was 12 I had line drive hit just above my heart. Lucky it didn't stop it.
Having such a horrible and long-lasting pain end all of the sudden must have been overwhelming. I remember something similar happening to me once my medication kicked in after 6 weeks and I felt relief from my anxiety disorder. It's a very emotional experience to be free of something that was just an agonizing part of everyday life.
Anxiety isn’t a diagnosis it’s a way you perceive your life. Meds don’t fix anxiety good habits and a good mindset no matter what hand life deals you is how you deal with anxiety.
@@WobbaFett9001 I have a younger brother that has been suffering from a mental health issue since he was in middle school (in his mid 30s now). We've been able to mitigate it and make it somewhat better, but he is still suffering, and a physical feeling of overwhelming anxiety is what triggers horrible depressive episodes that can last days; often resulting in intrusive thoughts and thoughts of suicide. He often complains that he's tired of the pain because it's been going on for so long. I read your comment and couldn't help but to hope you may have a new avenue for my brother to explore. Does any of this sound familiar? What medication worked for you? We've tried a couple but they didn't work.
@@GnarlyFeats Hi there, I'm very sorry to hear that about your brother. I was in a somewhat similar situation before my treatment started. What worked for me was Lexapro, but I know everyone is different so that may not work for your brother. I would try different ones until one works. I know that's very annoying but sometimes it's the only thing you can do. Also, I would advise your brother not to drink. A couple drinks is alright but drinking too often will make his anxiety wayyyyyyyy worse
0:11 The definition of "The lights are on, but nobody's home"
+ZachTalksMusic 94 I think this is a stolen comment from another video showing this. But maybe I am just remembering this video of you commenting and I'm calling you out for stealing your own comment. We will never know
what does it matter
What dows the lights are on but no one home have anything to do with thia video
@@austynreagan8072 if you hit you head really hard your brain goes in a state of trying to preserve conciousness, quite literally survival mode activates. Many aspects of the brain stop functioning so in his mind during the hit he knew he was alive but everything around him was dead. It made no sense to him what he was hearing, looking, and feeling.
Austyn Reagan are you dumb or are you stupid? The phrase symbolizes something else
These kind of injuries are very scary. Thankfully he is okay now, but still a freak accident in any point during the game. It was also great to see the fans at PNC Park be very classy and hoping that the pitcher was okay.
I'm surprised that it doesn't happen more than it does...
When the pitcher releases the ball, he's literally in a shooting gallery.
Well I would hope that people chose a human's life and well being over a game.
You have a low bar for "classy". It should be expected that people would hope for him to be ok.
Nathan DiNickle gtk thank you. Of course I’m only seeing this at the end of 2019. I hope there are no long term consequences for him bc of this. Sports have risks- take care everyone
@@michaellopez9814 in filthadelphia they would have booed him acting tough

6 years later, and this is still the gnarliest hit I think I've ever seen anyone take! Brutal.
*Kevin Pillar has entered the chat*
Tyler Zombro has entered the chat
Go look at Alex Cobb (TB v. KC) a few years back
@@pnw58 I just saw that. Tyler’s was worse than this for SURE. He had a seizure and was completely out for the count.
Not as gnarly as the bird Randy Jackson hit
To me, his gaze is more terrifying than those who just sprawl out waiting for the medic.
Can't let the pain overtake you
How did that not kill him!? I’ve see. This video 100 times and I still can’t believe how flush that got him. 101 mph baseball to the side of the head. Wow.
Michael Chapman just goes to show how strong we really are. it also gives my JV team another reason you shouldn’t be scared of the ball

@@dggjr1759 are you THATS why?
@@dggjr1759 Are you sure not being good enough isn't the #1 reason you don't play in the MLB?
A traumatic brain injury for sure, he's a tough guy for being able to stay conscious and lucky to be alive.
He was blinded for a bit
So this has no relevancy to me whatsoever but CZcams said....”it’s time he knew”
Aramys Hayes he’s playing in the World Series now. I believe that’s the teason
Alex Gonzalez but nowhere in my feed is anything related to baseball. I’ve never looked up a ⚾️ or bat. So showing me this isn’t gonna entice me to watch
@@FirstNameLastName-sc2lm but you clicked, that'd the whole goal of it. Enjoy that algorithm giving you 15 baseball videos tomorrow.
MLG BEASTLY but I didn’t click it. It just played after what I was watching, ended.
Lolololol
Fuck... The color just leaving his face in terrifying
Looked kind of like he was going to vommit or something
Great sportsmanship. I like that he got immediate attention and no worried about making the play.
But the play did get made
Uuuuuh, it was a live ball that got caught for the out. The play wasn't abandoned, the play was over.
Nah, if I'm getting paid millions to catch a ball, I'm catching the ball regardless of whether or not someone just died
This man could potentially be getting a ring now with the nationals, great comeback story and hope he gets it after something terrible like this
Good luck to them but I hope they lose 😏
Would he get one?. He signed a minor league contract
@@dickie804 Hella late with the reply, but I think he got one, he pitched in 8 MLB games in 2019
@@slopoke8656 luck isn’t real
@@Hituvuvuvu then I guess you think every move you make was already planned
Had a concussion in football and it was a very surreal experience. I could walk and everything but I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. No cognizance of how I was still able to move around. Like my being, my soul left. A hour later, on the ride back home, I started sobbing uncontrollably off and on for no reason. Scary experience
Oh my! Hope ur ok
Apparently the crying is totally normal after a concussion. I had one my 2nd year of college football, and I did the same thing. So strange.
lol football is stupid
This is the exact same reaction I had to a concussion in football. Full speed helmet to helmet on a kickoff, stunner me. Tossed my helmet right and just started walking, only had about 30% and was seeing the wrong ass colors, couldn’t hear. But all of a sudden(snap) everything was normal again
I'm very sorry to hear that. Is everything okay now?
Same bro I was Goalie thinking I can come out for the ball in soccer and the guy straight head kicked me in the head
Smelling salts.. They’re called smelling salt, and they’ll wake you up in the morning!..
That's what being unconscious while being conscious looks like
I absolutely love how the guy that hit the ball looks so scared for the other player he hit. Even though they are opposite teams he still shows concern.
Shows his compassion, respect and humanity. I appreciate that level of true sportsmanship.
@Larry.V Your comment kinda seems like I said something wrong. Do you feel my comment was wrong?
@@sarahleroy465 ...No, not technically wrong, but it seems like you think most players wouldn't have any concern for the guy they just beaned in the head bc they're on the other team
@@adambrewer3169 Ok.
@@sarahleroy465 which is wrong
Always scary when someone’s body goes on “fight or flight autopilot” after a blow to the head. I played hockey all through my childhood and teen years and seeing someone go like rigid from being knocked out is awful.
Same, definitely not the same after something like that
Yup
Good to see we fans care for other teams and that Jordy was concerned
Regardless of the uniform, when something like this happens, everyone is concerned. You don't want to see injuries, especially like that. Damn. I'm surprised he is still alive.
Selena xx I have seen a few comments like yours. What I don't understand is, why would anyone think that any opposing stadium fans would want to see anyone seriously hurt? This is just a game that is supposed to be a ( family ) outing sport, am I right? So logic would say that you would react to any injury in a caring way. Right?
Because in some other sports and/or countries the fans are sick enough to celebrate accidents like this, that's why i think the baseball fans are the best.
John Williamson you'd be supprised. Ive seen some comments on other injuries where the were saying like "when i saw this happen, i was celebrating." "He deserved it." Other shit like that. People are idiots now a days.
Ever been to Philadelphia?
His reaction right after he got hit is the scariest part
That look on his face was the brain trying to come back to reality after such a traumatic impact, almost like a deer getting caught in the headlights. Hope this kid is okay 👏
youtube 5 years ago..not yettt
4 years...nope
2 years..nah
end of 2019.. * recommended*
Fr
Fr
Haha haven’t seen this one beforw
I hope of era where this joke will cease
That joke is overused and old now.
U can tell that was just pure instinct and adrenaline by the look on his face and his reaction
Instinct and adrenaline had nothing to do with his reaction. What you saw was neurons firing randomly in the brain trying to re-establish a connection.
I really appreciate when the other teams medical staff comes out to help.
You know it's bad when the opposing team's medical staff rushes on the field.
Damn I get swept up in emotion when accidents like this happen in baseball. Much respect for the class shown by the Pirates batter.
I don' t know why I watch this stuff. It is just crazy how these guys get nailed and keep moving. He was looking for the ball! Dude was on another planet.
His reaction after that hit was scary he was all over the place.
So grateful he turned out okay, this was super scary. The fans are amazing for their ovation to him the only thing you have to be careful of when someone gets hit in the head is too much noise. It can be hard on the brain if you have a concussion.
Good god, I can’t imagine all the confusion going on in his head after the hit, scary stuff right there
Don’t use Gods name in vain
They need to design a helmet that provides as little interference while still giving decent protection for pitchers like they're the guys that get the least amount of time to react to the ball since they're so close like bruh
They did design hats that have more protection, but most pitchers don't like to wear them.
@Dakoda Fisher Alex Torres
i thought that’s what the plastic hats were for
Never mess with a head injury, needs to be under observation 24 to 48 hrs after
Seriously! That was a nasty, nasty force of trauma and I'm not convinced things are even 50% ok.
Cold pack should have been applied immediately. I hope they have a panel to review these incidents and give feedback.
Absolutely!
Michael Dillon he was fine the next day, he was already taking intervies
Ok Doc! Thanks for the tip! I'll pass it on to the team doctors.
Mercer knew right away. You can tell he didn't even wanna keep base running. Great respect and sportsmanship
My dad would be like .. “ Way to wear it kid! “
"Don't rub it!"
@@brianking2365 “walk it off!”
Had this happen to me in the batting cages throwing bp. Felt like the ball went straight through my head and that it was about to explode. I remember gripping the sides of my head with my hands, almost like keeping it from exploding. Scariest feeling of my life
Man that’s scary. Thank God Salty ran out and helped him down to a knee. If he fell and hit his head after being struck by that ball, it could’ve been very serious. Maybe life threatening. That’s why the comebacker is still the one of the scariest plays in all of sports.
Unlike when the pitcher beans a batter the batter can't control where it goes off the bat. That pitcher got cracked real bad and didn't know where he was at all
Why 4 1/2 years later it pops up in recommends
Same, no clue
Same, why
Frad Jok because you are on youtube and this is a video
@@4doorsmorewhors makes sense
Lol same here man
Hoping for a speedy and full recovery. My wishes and prayers go out to Jennings and his family.

Hats off to that show of support Pittsburgh. Seriously- so very respectable of you all to show that.
As I suffer seizures, this was the scariest hit I’ve ever saw..... The look on his face is something you never want to see....
Y todavía la gente le aplaude como diciendo "eres un guerrero, vamos campeón"
I think it's time for pitchers to start wearing helmets
Not trying to attack baseball, America has a gem of a game here but this needs addressing. That could of easily been never getting back up there. 😲
Baseball = Cricket
Football = Rugby?
Soccer = not an American sport
Now our only real sport is basketball.
@@johnhartshorne4223 Baseball and Cricket only have two similarities. 1: The Bat. 2: The Ball.
Especially after last night. 06-15-2019 Sean Newcombe with the Braves took a comebacker off the back of his head/neck. The ball went into the air and landed in netting behind the dugout
Yes. They should have to wear forhead padding
It is always chilling to see things like this happen.
That was me at 6 years old playing backyard baseball. I can only imagine a professional baseball swing....ugh. props to that man for taking that ball to the head and still be coherent. Bravo.
Every pitchers worst nightmare. After pitching from Little League through college Ive had my fair share of close ones and every single one of them will make your heart skip a beat followed by a huge rush of adrenaline. Luckily Ive only had one skim my ear and not made full contact like this. Glad he ended up being okay. Keep your head on a swivel up there boys, and may your reflexes be fast.
I've NEVER in my ENTIRE life seen someone get cracked so f'n hard that they seize AND get knocked out all while still standing up! GOT DAAAAAAYUM that boy got muffed up! In all seriousness though, I hope he ended up being alright with no permanent damage
He is brain dead

I had a ball hit me in the side of the head once and all I saw was white for like 30 seconds. People kept asking me if I was ok. I couldn't move or talk everything was pure white. When I could see again I was able to talk. Its like being stuck in limbo. So I kinda know what he went through.
I just watched this for the first time... oh my goodness. That’s a wicked hit.
Life .. all life is precious…
That was horrible. Glad hes okay. In other words, the shortstop caught the ball in the air after it bounced off his head and it never touched the ground. Crazy.

I know how the "awake knocked out" gig feels. No fun
The “Lights are on but no one’s home” affect?
The catcher at first base, his reaction and response at 00:25 was on point. After seeing him get hit, he dashed over threw off his mask without a second thought.
That is not a catcher that's a first baseman. They have no mask and he was dashing to first base because the ball got hit and that's what you're supposed to do in baseball
@@NoNoNoNoNo-ig9zc Thanks. I don't usually watch baseball because ai think it's boring af. I like American Football.
@@bobbysavagehill No problem man
Man that’s brutal. Straight to the observation/imaging wing
I played baseball for 15 years and I've had my share of injuries. Yes, there's lots of protective equipment that can help deter severe injuries but as a former player most of these things are bulky and uncomfortable. It's not just about looks it's also about comfort in different situations.
Dude pitchers are sitting ducks. Something has to change.
My ole Red Sox boy JS holding him up 0:13 got me choked up.
The ball flew so high after it hit his head, that really puts the speed in perspective. Hard to watch these clips, but I love the sport it's just dangerous sometimes.
That's why I love baseball, class by the fans and other team!
Kudos to the Pittsburg fans...class act!
And the shortstop caught that ball to make the out nonetheless-crazy!

I searched for this it wasnt in my recomended
His eyes were so spooky the lights were on but nobody was home
I feel his pain, I suffered a basal skull fracture and TBI seven years ago and I still have balance issues.
Jesus, howd you do that? That type of skull fracture is the kind thats killed a lot of nascar drivers
At least I know why youtube could think I wanted to see this in 2019.
That was a serious hit. Threw his equilibrium off for sure. Glad he got up though.
I think someone else said it best when calling that a picture-perfect example of "the lights are on but no one's home."
I love how the crowd always cheers as the player is carted off. Like putting a guy, who took a meteor to the head, on a cart is going to fix anything
My favorite is how we humans try to walk/run out of intense pain- its like, "nope, i gotta get out of this- im out"....where the fuck we going?
Seeing his teammates run to him makes me miss mine.
I've seen this many times. I remember watching it live and it still scares me every single time.
When I saw this live, not in the stadium, but on TV (Marlins fan), his immediate reaction reminded me of myself when I got a concussion playing handball in high school. It felt so familiar it was scary. So glad that Dan was okay after this.
If you’ve ever been hit by a baseball at that speed, you know how he feels. Your mind goes blank, and for a second or two you seem to go unconscious. It’s absolutely terrifying.
Trainer: how many fingers am i holding Up?
Jennings: yes
Strangely enough, this is exactly where I tried to hit the ball… The 70’s were awesome..
The hang time on that ball shows how fast it was going. Amazing.
Trainer: Are you okay?
Pitcher: I’m fine Uncle Paul, remind James and Rachel that the chocolate cones are 2 for 99 cents.
Trainer: 👁👄👁
When I watched him get hit I legit got a headache as soon as he got hit
That was a lot of respect shown on that field 👍
That was intense... he just got up and wanted to walk it off! One tough bloke
When I saw his expression I was afraid he didn't know who he was.
I know how that feels. Happened to me two years ago and I would black out a few times over a couple of days. Scary as hell when your brain suffers trauma like that
I am crying! I hope he will be ok
Wow, much respect to Jennings. Glad he's ok.
- "How many fingers am I holding up?"
- "There are four lights!"
"Eight birds flying in circles."
Damn spoon heads.
Just take the man to the hospital immediately... Stop standing around him looking at him
Paramedics only move people when they are stable... if they arent they are not gonna risk moving a person as it might create more damage to that person..
I got hit by a softball coming off a bat and I was useless for 20 minutes, this man just took a rocket to the face I cannot even imagine.
A lot of class from everyone. Hopefully a speedy recovery.
I was there. Scary to see that happen.
This was unfortunate. Mercer felt bad.
That writhing on the ground, spinning in a circle, then standing up like nothing happened is the most terrifying thing you can see from somebody with a head injury. Something I’ve only seen twice. Once from a rabid dog, and once from a guy with a brain bleed at a football game.
I was actually in the stadium when that happened, I was younger and wasn’t paying attention and thought it was just a pop fly wondering what happened. Crazy to see it now all these years later
It hit his head so hard it turned from a lime drive to a pop fly
I don't even watch Baseball why is this recommended
Oh damn! Hope he’s ok the problem with these types of head injuries they don’t show up till years later but in a nasty form... 🙏🙏
Hi praise to the Pittsburgh crowd - that was classy.
Is it just me or does the angle from behind him, with a slow down, @1:30 ish...make it seem like it hit his glove and not his head?
Lilith.N.Morning you can’t be serious. Does a glove hit equate to the ball going 90 degrees AND to the SS?
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that the shortstop caught that ball off his head for the out? Glad he is alright, but what a crazy play.
Alek Byerly nah he just stepped under it and caught it no effort
