Throwing batting practice to the varsity team that I help coach. Since I throw around 250 pitches, I am throwing from about 35-40 feet from home plate, to add velocity without actually throwing hard. (The short distance gives the batter less time to see it and hit it) I was throwing behind a large "L" screen, usually safe. Tonight, one of our lefties decided to drill me. I threw, ducked behind the screen during the follow through, but must have left my right arm partially exposed. Never been hit square before, and have done this for years. Tonight fate decided to remind me why I need to duck quicker and lower.... I heard the usual "PING" and fell a loud whack on my right bicep. Never saw the ball, which is pretty rare. I looked down and saw the ball directly between my feet, spinning. Sucker got me square. Funny part is that it hit all muscle tissue, so it didnt hurt that bad. Kids were kind of going nuts. I threw to a few more hitters, but began to lose control and had to stop throwing for the nite. Not a ton of pain, but it tightened up on me. Now watching the Brewer game about 4 hours later, I have a huge, round, bright red welt on my arm. This is going to suck tomorrow......
