Some pitchers can throw the ball close to 100mph, so you can imagine how quick it was coming back at Archie Bradley when it struck him square in the face after being caught clean by the player on bat.

The video is not pretty.

The picture after is even less so, but at least he wasn't seriously hurt. 

 

 Good man, Archie. Maybe work on those reflexes though, dude.
