Ryan Feltner was involved in a scary incident in the game against the Philadelphia Phillies as he was hit on the head by a line drive that came back straight at him. The Colorado Rockies pitcher was immediately taken off the field and was rushed to the hospital for proper assessment and check up.
Starting for the Rockies, Ryan Feltner wasn't at his best in the first inning. The Phillies made the most of it as they zoomed ahead with a four-run lead. With two outs in the second and Nick Castellanos at the plate, an 88 mph 1-1 slider was hit back by the Phillies batter straight back at Feltner.
Castellanos had no intention to hurt his opponent as he had to reach out for the pitch that looked eventually outside the strikezone. The ball came back at a whopping speed of 92.7 mph and was eventually collected by first baseman C.J Cron with the batter reaching safely to base as the play was halted.

The 26-year-old RHP immediately collapsed to the ground but thankfully kept his consciousness. He could be seen lying on his stomach on the mound, squinching his eyes before two members of the Colorado training staff came to his aid. Ryan Feltner eventually got up to his feet and left the field with assistance of the two staff members as the crowd applauded for him.
