VIDEO: Nationals' Victor Robles Gets Beaned in the Face While Trying to Bunt Against Marlins
By Karl Rasmussen
Victor Robles loves using his speed to make an impact on games, which often results in the young outfielder trying to catch the defense off guard with a bunt. Well, this one certainly didn't go according to plan for the 22 year old, as when he tried to drop it down, he ended up taking a pitch right to the face.
Extremely scary. Glad Victor Robles is okay. @DistrictOnDeck #Nats pic.twitter.com/nOukV7Ac1k

Oh my lord.
Robles is EXTREMELY lucky not to have suffered a devastating injury on that play. He was looking straight at the ball as it came hurling towards his unmasked face, and just barely managed to dip out of harms way, causing the ball to whisk past, having just clipped his cheek.
