Kansas City Royals pitcher Seth Lugo was hit in the head by a 107mph liner during a game against the Mets. The batter, Brandon Nimmo, showed concern for Lugo’s well-being and immediately ran to check on him after touching first base.

Respectful Reaction

Nimmo’s reaction was praised as one of the classier moves of the season. Lugo was shaken up but thankfully walked away unscathed. The Royals later said he was ‘doing well’ and would undergo proper protocols before his next outing.

Lugo appreciated Nimmo’s concern, saying ‘I was really just trying to calm him down. I’m OK, Nimms.’ Nimmo’s actions demonstrated his respect for Lugo, and the two former teammates shared a moment of camaraderie amidst the intense game.
