When they say baseball is a game of inches, surely they couldn’t have meant something like this!
On Sunday, Colorado Rockies pitcher Noah Davis had a scary encounter with a hard-hit ball in his first-ever start with the team. In the bottom of the second, facing the heart of the Seattle Mariners’ order, Davis had to duck out of the way of a screaming ball driven right at his face. While Davis was able to avoid being clobbered in the face, the ball grazed the back of his cap on the way past his head, knocking it off with surprising ease.
