I think it was heading for his nose and he turned his head left and it got him in the cheek
I dont think theyre in the business of showing guys getting smoked in the dome/face with batted balls anymore
Lots of minor leaguers moving up, folks are wondering about their futures
If a fan had been running onto the field at the same time, they would have had to fade to black.
Via YES. looks like it got him square on the cheek
Houck getting hit in face in spoilers...
Photos going around on Twitter, nasty laceration on Houck's cheek
Yes, this pretty obviously was not a Bryce Florie horror show which no one should ever have to see. Tanner walked off and seemed ok. So show it so we can be reassured that
the angle wasn’t too bad. Hopefully like the endlessly replayed foul ball off John Sterling’s noggin. Journalism is actually relevant to show viewers what happened
Well, it's good to see that Houck wasn't hit in the eye or on the temple or anything.
He may end up with a dueling scar.

Is there a reason MLB pitchers aren't protected like college softball pitchers? Is it just optics and/or machismo?
Seems like a guy who has a lot of hockey player in him. He won't miss a start.
Looking at that video, I think he’ll be okay because of how he got up quickly and the ball angled away rather that just stopping. Justin Turner’s beaning in spring training looked much worse and more dramatic. Shitty that happened in the midst of Tanner’s great performance and all around fun, but I’m choosing to be optimistic. They really should show the video again because it’s not horrible to see.
