Fastball Met Face, Then Fence
Top Stories
- 1B Spencer Horwitz (Pirates), who limped onto the injured list June 25 after pulling a hamstring, has no fear. Consider his current rehab stint at Single-A. On July 21, in the four-year veteran’s first game with the Bradenton Marauders, he singled, walked twice, and—perhaps unwisely for a man with a bum hammy—stole second base. Four days later, Horwitz was struck in the face by an 88 mph four-seam fastball. Rather than exit the game, however, he stayed in and stroked a towering, game-tying home run on the first pitch of his very next at-bat (7/28/2026)
