The last thing any pitcher wants to see is a line drive screaming towards their face. And on Sunday, Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet walked away from that terrifying situation against the Twins — even if he didn't escape completely unscathed.

Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet had a close call when a line drive skipped off his glove and nose on its way to second base for a groundout.

Coaches have worked with Crochet to be more upright as a way to put less strain on his body. The velocity dip could well be a product of his adjusting to that change.
