They say never take your eye off the ball, and one Atlanta Braves player found out you can't even look away when no play is going on.
Dansby Swanson, the top pick in the 2015 draft, was talking with two players between innings when he got a wake-up call no man wants.

While the rookie shortstop wasn't watching, catcher Tyler Flowers tried to toss the ball back to the mound, but the ball instead went past the pitcher's glove and just south of the belt on Swanson.
Dansby was taken out of the game for an undisclosed reason, but we can pretty much guess what the cause was by the video. Ouch, That had to sting!
