Being a catcher is absolutely the worst. Hats off to all of you trying to make a career in baseball playing behind the plate. Nothing but respect because I don’t even want to imagine what Yadier Molina felt and probably is still feeling after Kris Bryant fouled off a 102mph fastball off his balls.
Obviously Molina left the game after this.
