Marlins third base coach Jody Reed suffered a broken right leg on Wednesday after outfielder Jesus Sanchez hit a rope down the line that caught Reed in the shin.
The exit velocity of the foul ball off Sanchez’s bat was a crisp 96.6 miles per hour, probably enough to crack any shin. To Reed’s credit, he hopped around for quite a while, as he tried to shake off the pain.
Miami manager Skip Schumaker addressed the incident after the game, acknowledging that Reed was hurt pretty bad by the line drive.
