Reds Chapman Needs Plate Inserted After Comebacker

((HT: ESPN))

Let's face it...

When you're a pitcher, you know going in that you're taking life into your own hands...

And the faster you throw, the faster it comes back through the originator...

Last night, Reds closer Aroldis Chapman was pitching against the Royals and Salvador Perez met the 99-miles per hour fast ball head on. It went back the way it came and scared the daylights out of a lot of people...

Here's the edited version of the comebacker last night...


He is undergoing surgery to repair a broken bone above his left eye and was, luckily, only diagnosed with a concussion. Team doctor Timothy Kremchek called Chapman "a very lucky guy."

Kremchek said a metal plate will be inserted in the bone and will remain there permanently. Chapman's left eye also has no permanent damage.
