Tricia Whitaker, a reporter covering Major League Baseball for Apple TV, experienced an unexpected turn of events during the Baltimore Orioles’ game against the Detroit Tigers. While reporting from the stands, Whitaker was struck by a line drive hit by Orioles’ player Adley Rutschman. The incident took place on Friday night, and Whitaker was quick to share her experience on social media.

Whitaker posted photos on X, showing the Orioles’ medical team attending to her injured forearm. Despite the shock of the incident, she maintained her sense of humor, writing, “In case anyone was wondering — Adley Rutschman’s exit velo is still elite. My forearm is proof.” She added that she was placed on a “10-day IL” for forearm discomfort, but reassured her followers that she was fine, thanks to the prompt care she received from the Orioles’ medical staff.
