Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Seth Lugo endured a frightening moment during Wednesday night's game, as he was forced to exit immediately after being struck in the head by a line drive.
The incident unfolded when Lugo was on the mound facing Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo. Nimmo hit a scorching line drive that registered an exit velocity of 106.6 mph, directly impacting Lugo's head.
Following the significant impact, Lugo left the game without delay. His immediate exit underscores the serious nature of the collision and the priority given to player safety in such high-velocity incidents.
