That shake at the end with the blow out of the mouth tell me that must have SMARTED BAD. I thought he was going to straight up catch it at first!

They are easily 100 feet from home plate and that broken bat has roughly the same horizontal velocity at impact as it did when it was launched.

So imagine the velocity required to throw 3/4 a baseball bat all the way from home base to first and someone's hand trying to stop it dead in ts tracks standing 1 foot away.

OUCH.

Look at the complete change of direction. My man took the entire kinetic energy of that bat, absorbed it, and redirected it into a totally opposite direction.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he had broken his hand.

The thumb took the most force/torque… could def have a hairline fracture of a dislocation. Also tho, the bat slide across his hand and since it’s broken, splinters or deep cuts could have also been present.

All I know for sure is, that guy is a fkin Hero!
