Milwaukee Brewers fireballer Jacob Misiorowski was dealing once again Saturday night.
And while he mowed down the Colorado Rockies − including firing a starter record 103.7 mph pitch − he was also responsible for a scary moment in the sixth inning.
A 98 mph offering from Misiorowski got away from him, hitting the Rockies’ Tyler Freeman flush in the helmet. Both players seemed shaken by the incident and Freeman exited the game after being attended to by trainers.
Freeman did walk off the field under his own power.
His manager, Warren Schaeffer, painted a positive outlook for Freeman after the game.
“He took it about as good as I think anybody can take 101 (miles per hour) off the helmet,” Schaeffer said, per the Denver Post. “Obviously, it didn’t feel good, but he seems fine.”
