George Springer Struck by Fastball, Manager Confirms He’s “Doing All Right”

URGENT UPDATE: George Springer, the Toronto Blue Jays’ designated hitter, was struck in the head by a 96 mph fastball during a game at Camden Yards on October 2, 2023. After a tense moment that silenced the crowd of 20,176, manager John Schneider confirmed that Springer is “doing all right.”
As the Blue Jays faced a significant 11-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, the game took a backseat to Springer’s well-being. The pitch, thrown by Kade Stroud, hit Springer near the ear flap of his helmet, causing him to collapse to the ground. After several anxious moments, Springer lifted his head and mouthed “Wow!” before being assisted off the field.
Schneider, visibly relieved, provided an update following the incident. “He kind of got him on the shoulder and then the helmet. Thankfully he was able to turn a little bit, too,” Schneider said. He emphasized the human aspect of such incidents, stating, “You don’t think about baseball. You think about the human. It’s scary. It happens. It sucks.”
Stroud, who remained on the mound with a worried expression, shared in the concern as he awaited news of Springer’s condition. “That’s the worst part of baseball for any side,” he remarked, echoing the sentiment of players and fans alike.
Despite the frightening moment, Schneider reassured everyone that Springer was alert and able to communicate, which he called “a good thing.” The Blue Jays will monitor Springer’s condition closely in the coming days as they prepare for their next matchup.
For now, the focus remains on Springer’s recovery and the implications for the Blue Jays as they continue their season. Fans and teammates alike are hopeful for a swift return to the field for the star player.
