Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb left his team's home game on Saturday in a scary scene after being hit in the back of the head by a line drive off the bat of Philadelphia’s J.T. Realmuto.
Newcomb was checked by a trainer and walked off the field under his own power in Atlanta, escorted by two trainers on Saturday.
The ball was clocked at 102 mph and caromed off Newcomb’s head and sailed into the netting behind the Phillies’ dugout on the third base
