There was a scary moment during Friday’s college baseball game between Vanderbilt<\/a> and Alabama when the umpire took a blistering foul tip straight to the head.<\/p>\n

This was the second game of the two SEC teams’ series at Sewell-Thomas Stadium in Tuscaloosa, and in the bottom of the second inning, Alabama<\/a> was already up 3-0.<\/p>\n

Alabama’s Brennan Holt took a swing at the 1-0 offering and got a piece of it, but that sent it straight into the face of umpire Scott Kennedy, and he went down hard.<\/p>\n

According to The Tennessean<\/a>, trainers from both teams rushed out to assist Kennedy, and that caused a 15-minute delay in the game.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, he was eventually able to walk off the field under his own power and was replaced by one of the other umpires behind the plate.<\/p>\n

After the game \u2014 which the Crimson Tide won handily, 5-0 \u2014 Alabama head coach Rob Vaughn sent his best to Kennedy and said that he had heard from his team’s trainers that he was going to be all right.<\/p>\n

Man, this is just one of those reminders that being a home plate umpire is no joke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Believe me, I like goofing on them when they mess up as much as the next guy, especially in MLB’s ABS era, but it takes some serious stones to get behind the plate.<\/p>\n

Most of us would have no problem getting behind the plate for a Little League game, but once you get to the high school, college and pro ranks, the number of volunteers would likely start to shrink.<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’d want to stand back there, not with how hard pitchers can throw and how hard batters can swing.<\/p>\n

So hopefully things are going to be OK for Scott Kennedy because, man, that was scary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
