Great story about seeing Bryce before anyone knew who he was.

One of the kids on my son’s high school team was pitching at Dreams Park back in 2016.

Pitching to some monster of a 12 year old.  The kid took a line drive off his orbital bone.

Had to be medivacked out of the park to the nearest hospital.

Father hired a private plane to fly the kid home to NYC.

Says the move probably saved his son’s sight as nearest hospital was not equipped to handle it.

This year at Diamond Nation:

Kid takes a line drive off his head.  Face down on the mound.  Motionless.  Thank God, the kid’s mother was a nurse.

She Took charge.  Had the 22 year old safety director, who no idea what to do, call 911.

Hospital was 1 mile away.  It took 20+ minutes for ambulance to get there.

This year at Diamond nation:  early season tourney in March.  Temps in 40s with steady, driving rain.  Our coach has his top pitcher pitch entire game in first round of playoffs.  Ruined his arm for the entire spring and summer seasons.  Did not pitch again all year.  Arm still bothers him a year later...
