A Little Leaguer from team Puerto Rico attempting to lay down a bunt took a ball to the groin. It was a 1-1 game in the bottom of the 5th when it took place.
The kid squared around to bunt and managed to get a piece of the pitch before it hit him, but it was only enough to redirect the ball off of his junk.
The kid went down in pain as if he wasn’t wearing the most important piece of equipment in baseball…a cup. Let’s hope he was, but it didn’t look good when he first went down.
Ahhhhhh this poor kid took a pitch in a… bad spot. #LLWS pic.twitter.com/uwn62DrP5a
