PHOENIX -- Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda apparently escaped serious injury
despite being hit on the side of the head above the right ear by a Rusty Ryal
line drive in the bottom of the sixth inning of Saturday night's game with
the D-backs, which the Dodgers lost, 4-3, in 10 innings.
Trainer Stan Conte said Kuroda never lost consciousness and a CT scan was
negative, revealing no fractures or bleeding. Kuroda will be kept overnight
at a local hospital for observation with a likely concussion, although
doctors were willing to release him, Conte said.
"It's kind of amazing," said Conte. "He looked pretty good, considering. He
got a little nauseous and that got us going."
Kuroda, his neck immobilized, was taken off the field on a cart with his body
strapped to a spine board. As the cart began moving, Kuroda lifted both arms
briefly in an apparent signal that he was conscious and capable of moving.
Conte said medical studies have determined that a baseball hitting a
pitcher's head at 90 mph generates twice the force that would result in a
serious brain injury.
"He has no problems and that's really lucky," he said.
Kuroda went down immediately when struck, landing on his side while grabbing
his head with both hands, then rolling onto his back. Second baseman Orlando
Hudson was the first teammate to reach him, followed immediately by the
Dodgers training staff and manager Joe Torre, who waved interpreter Kenji
Nimura to the mound for assistance.
The ball deflected off Kuroda's head, bounced off the warning track by the
D-backs' on-deck circle and into the stands for a ground-rule double. An
obviously shaken Ryal came to the mound to check on Kuroda and was soon
ushered away by Arizona manager A.J. Hinch.
"It's unfortunate. You want everyone to be safe and have success in this
game. you don't wish that upon anybody," said Ryal, called up from Triple-A
six days earlier. "My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. I
hope he's doing alright right now. You get that sick feeling in your stomach.
Scary, just scary. I was just scared and I'm sure everyone else in the
stadium, probably his teammates got to be feeling gut-wrenching about it.
"I sent him a letter over there to tell him best wishes, get well soon and I
hope to see him back out there. I just wanted to go up there and see for
myself if he was doing OK or if I could hear anything about him talking or
just to show that I care about people. You don't want to see that happen to
anyone. It was just unfortunate."
Prior to Ryal's at-bat, Kuroda was cruising with a two-hit shutout through
five innings and a 3-0 Dodgers lead. The game was delayed by about 15 minutes
and James McDonald took over for Kuroda.
The incident was reminiscent of a tragic injury suffered by another Dodgers
pitcher from Japan, Kazuhisa Ishii, who was struck in the forehead by a line
drive off the bat of Houston Astros outfielder Brian Hunter in a twilight
game at Dodger Stadium Sept. 8, 2002. Ishii suffered a fractured skull.
It was the second time a pitcher had been struck in the head by a line drive
at Chase Field. Houston's Billy Wagner was drilled in 1998 by Kelly Stinnett.
Brad Ausmus was catching Kuroda on Saturday night, was catching Wagner in
1998 and was in the Astros dugout at Dodger Stadium when Ishii was injured.
"Ishii's was probably the worst," said Ausmus. "Wagner went down bad. Kuroda
was a lot more with it than Wagner was at the time. Actually, he looked
pretty good, all things considered.
"I saw the line drive and I saw it hit Kuroda and it looked like he tried to
duck."
