Not sure if you all were aware of this accident, leaving player paralyzed. Anyone know how this young man is doing?

Not sure how you missed it (or if it was missed entirely here on hsb..)
It is very sad indeed. And, it is the second time it has happened this year in D1 baseball.. (Cory Hahn Arizona State too)
Terrible incidents.

Oh, this is awful. I am so sorry to hear this tragic news.
what does that mean a fund will be collected for medical expenses, wouldnt he be covered by the school? tragic I am also surrised it wasnt covered here.
The NCAA will cover his medical needs. There will be other things though like family expenses, his recovery will be long.
I referred to this in any earlier topic where we were discussing injuries.
There's not any news more recent than the info in the article. They were both diving head first for a ball in the gap. Both players had to be taken off the field. JT is due to leave the Spinal Center soon but is still paralyzed and will likely not ever walk.
The NCAA and the College will cover many of the expenses for the next 30year thru their catastrophic injury insurance. But, by no means is all his cost of living covered.
At about the same time, a D1 play out west, I want to say Texas or ASU, was paralyzed in a head first slide collision at second base.
As an aside; just saw the Atlanta Braves have begun to fine player in their minor league system for head first slides after losing some of their Star players recently to them; like Heyward, McClouth and another I can't recall right now.

Related: wasn't there a player (maybe from ASU) who slid head first into 2B and injured his neck earlier this year?
Any info on that young man?

Last night in a game AAA Memphis players Shane Robinson and Andrew Brown collided in the outfield, happening in what's called no man's land both going for the ball.
Both suffered concussions, Robinson facial fracture, will need surgery.
Often we talk about how much the bats add danger to the game, I think it's really more about the danger that just exists (as in all sports).
I wish all of these players full recoveries.
