Little Leaguers face danger from pitched balls
Nine year old Christopher Stuart needed stitches after a line drive hit him in the mouth while his father coached in Waldorf Maryland. Orioles pitchers Mussina Charlton and Drabek were injured by pitched balls, raising calls for better protection. Dr. Janda warns chest impacts can prove fatal, noting rare deaths from heart rhythm loss after chest blows. Soft core balls fail to prevent these risks, GM researchers report in the Journal of Trauma.
