Tigers Pitcher Matt Manning Was Able to Make a Great Play After Being Struck by 119.5-MPH Hit

Tigers pitcher Matt Manning missed a lot of the 2023 MLB Season after being hit in the foot with a hard-hit grounder in April, an injury that knocked him out of action for 77 days.

On Wednesday night bad luck struck again for Manning, as he was hit in the same foot with a 119.5-mph grounder by Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton, a hit that broke his foot and knocked Manning out for the rest of the season.

Manning went out in style, however, as he was somehow able to make a play on the ball and get Stanton out at first.

Check this out:

What a brutal year for the 25-year-old pitcher.

MLB fans were in awe that he was able to make the play:

Matt Manning just took a 119.5 mph liner off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton to the foot and made the play🤯🤯

He has been pulled from the game after this play though https://t.co/UoUIUKCeuE

119.5 off the bat from Giancarlo Stanton directly off the foot. Sounds painful. https://t.co/hB7cr17eBt
