New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar is somehow maintaining a remarkably positive perspective in the wake of a terrifying incident earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch during a game against the Atlanta Braves.
Pillar was hit in the face by an offering from Braves pitcher Jordan Webb during Monday night’s victory. It was a grisly, disturbing scene, as the Mets outfielder was left bleeding profusely from the incident. After taking understandable time to initially recover from the devastating contact, Pillar ultimately was able to walk off the field under his own power.
