Filed Under (Game Updates, SF Giants) by Michael New Jr.

In a scary moment at AT&T Park, rookie pitcher Joe Martinez took a line drive off the head with two outs in the ninth. Brewers center fielder Mike Cameron smoked a fastball back up the middle which hit so hard off the young kids head that the ball went out of play over 60 feet away.

Joe Martinez Hit in Head with Line Drive

Obviously shaken up, Mike Cameron knelt down at second base with many Giants players coming over to try and console him. It seemed the entire stadium took a moment of silence as the onlookers waited to see the outcome of the unfortunate circumstance.

Martinez surprisingly walked off the field on his own power, bleeding from the upper right side of his forehead and his nose. Upon impact he fell to the ground limp-like and bounced back up in a very awkward all-in-one motion. He seemed to come to and clinched his head after removing his cap.

Fortunately insiders who visited the hospital tonight have confirmed from Giants executives that the CAT scan was negative and he doesn’t seem to have any broken bones or a shattered skull. Martinez has a concussion, but that seems to be the worst of it.

The Giants ended up winning the game 7-1 taking the first series of the year. Next up the San Diego Padres beginning tomorrow with Zito’s season debut.

Wow, what a tough kid! Took one off the ol’ noggin’. I’m glad that he is OK. Atleast his team still pulled through for him.

that picture speaks a thousand words in describing the headache… it was a wicked shot with the ball moving at the 100 mph mark… hard to see the ball in time to even think before it hit him

Bat speed will only increase exponentially. I guess nothing will changes until someone gets seriously injured.

That can be scary being a pitcher, very vulnerable after throwing a pitch.

You know it’s bad when the ball goes 60′ out of play. It’s a good thing he’s okay, it could have been a lot worse.

Injuries are part of the game, but it should not be occurred in revenge at all.

Yeah disappointing year after another. Wish we won it when we had Bonds. For some strange reason I want the Yankees to win it the World Series but I might post an article at http://advisingwriters.com/articles about the Giants they really piss me off sometimes. Great picture though.

Yeah, that Martinez guy is so lucky that he didn’t get killed by that ball. That thing must have been traveling over 100 MPH. Scary!


Tanah Kavling on 1 December, 2009 at 2:49 am #

It’s so painful. And fortunately there are still lucky words, that the CAT scan was negative and he doesn’t seem to have any broken bones or a shattered skull. Lucky man!

This same thing happened in one of my college games. The batter drilled the pitcher right between the eyes. Pitcher dropped and had a seizure. It was freaky.
