No one wants to see this.

This frightening photo from AP shows pitcher Juan Nicasio of the Colorado Rockies after he was beaned by accident versus the Washington Nationals. A line drive off a bat comes at the pitcher probably at 120 miles per hour. The fastest any pitcher throws is a little over 100 mph.
