VIDEO: Yankees' Gio Urshela Fouls off Pitch Right Into His Crotch
By Ryan Flores
We've seen MLB players foul pitches off all parts of their bodies, but this is easily the most unfortunate. New York Yankees infielder Gio Urshela is now no stranger to this as he fouled off a pitch that bounced and hit him directly in the midsection.

Men everywhere just felt Urshela's pain. After that, he immediately fell to the ground writhing in pain. Urshela is lucky that the 79 MPH pitch it wasn't any faster, otherwise it could've been a far more devastating foul ball.

Luckily, the injury wasn't too serious, as Urshela managed to remain in the game. Here's to hoping we don't have to see and share that kind of pain with Urshela again.
