Colorado Rockies pitcher Ryan Feltner was to spend the night in the hospital after being struck in the head by a line drive in the second inning against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.
Nick Castellanos lined a 1-0 slider back to the mound at 92.7 mph. The ball went off the back right side of Feltner's head. The right-hander immediately collapsed to the ground as the ball deflected to first baseman C.J. Cron. Castellanos was safe with a single. The 26-year-old Feltner walked off with the assistance of two staff members as the fans at Coors Field applauded.
"There was a part of me that wanted to go to the mound, but I guess the baseball player takes over and you run to first," Castellanos said when asked his initial reaction. "As soon as I touched first I turned around and was really hoping what just happened didn’t happen."
