A minor league baseball player is recovering after getting smashed in the face with a 90 mph fastball according to Business Insider.

Amazingly, he left the field on his own, and sent a photo to a friend who posted it on Twitter.

Delino DeShields Jr, who plays for the Houston Astros Double-A team the Corpus Christi Hooks, has a broken cheekbone and a swollen face, but his coach said it could have been much worse.

Click2Houston reported DeShields was released from the hospital Saturday morning.
