Anyone who has played baseball knows what this kid for Team Puerto Rico in the Little League World Series is feeling. In the bottom of the fifth inning in a 1-1 game, this left-handed batter for Puerto Rico squared around to bunt and he was hit in...an awful spot.
Ahhhhhh this poor kid took a pitch in a... bad spot. #LLWS pic.twitter.com/uwn62DrP5a

Whether he's wearing a cup or not (please, be wearing a cup), it's one of the worst feelings a boy can have. Well, it hurts no matter your age, but getting hit in the junk by a baseball at any speed is unbearable.
Especially if it's self-inflicted. How do you live with yourself?
#LLWS it doesn’t matter where you’re from, getting drilled in the junk is a universal language. Walk it off champ. #Panama #PuertoRico

He took it like a champ, but there's no doubt he might need an ice bag to help ease the pain. Ice those bags with a ice bag, know what I'm saying?
