Mets’ Kevin Pillar tweets he’s ‘doing fine’ after pitch horrifyingly hit him in the face

Thank goodness.

It was a frightening scene at Truist Field on Monday night — a pitch thrown by Atlanta Braves reliever Jacob Webb hit New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar directly in the face, leaving him bloody.

Pillar somehow walked off the field under his own power. It was a horrifying moment as he was taken to the hospital for a CT scan.

Yet the outfielder tweeted hours later that he was “doing fine,” and he even seemed to joke it was an RBI that turned out to be the game-winner — the hit-by-pitch drove in a run for a 2-0 Mets lead, and New York eventually won 3-1.

Thank goodness he’s OK. Here are the opposing managers talking about the incident, which was completely accidental:
