Over the weekend, two baseball videos went viral. On Saturday, Yankees first baseman LUKE VOIT took a 91-mile-per-hour fastball TO THE FACE. It clipped his shoulder and then hit him in the chin and lower lip.
But incredibly, he stayed in the game and scored a run later in the inning as if nothing had happened. He was then taken out of the game as a precaution, but he did pass the concussion test.
A scary moment in the bottom of the fourth, but take a deep breath Yankees fans. The Yankees have announced that Luke Voit was removed from today’s game for precautionary reasons and underwent concussion protocol testing. Those test results came back clear. pic.twitter.com/s92l7K6Y7z

Also on Saturday, Rays reliever, OLIVER DRAKE ended the eighth inning with a strikeout, using one of the most bizarre pitches you’ll see. He threw the ball in one direction and it made a sharp turn to the other.
