Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker may be one of the toughest guys in the entire MLB.
Sunday, he was able to take a liner off the side of the head that was clocked at 105 mph from the bat of Kyle Seager. Not only that Shoemaker was able to walk off the field under his own power and give a thumbs up to the fans.
Pretty bad ass.

Afterwards an MRI revealed a fractured skull and hematoma. He’ll have to spend the night in the hospital but he’s lucky to be alive.
