Pitching Prospect Stops Line Drive With Face

Scary moment last night for Gerrit Cole, the No. 1 overall choice in last year's MLB draft. Cole was making just his second start for the Altoona Curve, the Pirates' Double-A affiliate, when what you see in the video above happened in the first inning. Cole somehow finished the inning by facing three more hitters. He then left the game and was taken to a hospital. The Pirates reported today that a CT scan turned up negative, and Cole has a "contusion on his jaw."
