Tyler Colvin, outfielder for the Chicago Cubs suffered a strange accident during a game against the Florida Marlins. Colvin was making his run to home from third base when all of a sudden the bat of Welington Castillo split sending a part of the bat towards Colvin.
Colvin, 25, has been hospitalized in Jackson Memorial Hospital and is currently in stable condition. It seems the bat hit very close to his heart but fortunately it missed by a few inches, producing only minimal external bleeding. According to some reports, Colvin will remain hospitalized for a few days for observation.
"I feel really bad about it," Castillo said. "It wasn't on purpose, but he's my teammate. I hope he's getting better."
"These bats, I'm amazed it doesn't happen more," Cubs manager Mike Quade said. "We have seen guys get hit with pieces, but to actually get stabbed with one, I just don't ever remember (seeing it)."
