If it weren't for bad luck....

Im not sure if any of you remember the athletic lefty Pitcher from the U of Florida, Brian Johnson or not. But this kid is like a magnet to baseball's exiting homeplate via a bat or his own catcher.

I think it was 2 years ago in the SEC semi-final against UGA that his own catcher, Mike Zunino came up firing to catch a stealer from taking 2B. The throw ended up hitting Johnson square in the back of the head knocking him out temporarily.

Now I read this article in his first year in the MiLB and he almost gets his face taken off by a batted ball. Not to mention he gets hit in the knee by a batted ball and taken out in late July as well.

He was an excellent position player and batter in college hitting .307 overall. Maybe oughta consider a position change.

Johnson suffers multiple bone fractures in face

Pretty scarey stuff. Happy mine is not on the bump!

I hope and pray that he has a quick and full recovery.
