"Tyler Colvin, a rookie outfielder for the Chicago Cubs suffered a freak accident during Sunday’s game against the Florida Marlins,

Colvin was sprinting from third base to home in the second inning when a sharp piece from a broken bat flew up and stabbed him in the chest just a few inches from his heart, according to video footage of the game.

The New England Sports Network reports 
that the piece punctured his chest near the collarbone region, Causing air to enter into his chest. 








He was able to touch home plate but was then immediately taken to the hospital.
