after it was crushed during a workout. Tough luck I hope this does not end his career.

Eye got crushed by a collapsed rubber workout band

that was attached to the wall. Damn what a shitty way to lose an eye. Hope the kid recovers and can still play

How can you play with one eye?
Depth perception

is tough with one eye. If he was a hitting prospect his career would most likely be over. As a pitcher, he might still have a shot but fielding will be an issue.
I seriously doubt he will be able to resume his career

Depth perception is critical in baseball.

Very unfortunate. I hope the best for him in the long run.

Piece of metal. Broke his nose, two orbital bones as well.
I would have a hard time smiling like he is

in that picture. Not that soon after career ending surgery.
Have you ever had to try to see with one eye?

I had a medical thing that caused me to lose most vision in one eye very suddenly. (It eventually came back.) Depth perception was a huge issue. I couldn't even parallel park. You generally aren't aware of stereo vision, but when you lose it, it's very disorienting.

I can't imagine trying to play baseball with one eye, hitting or fielding, pitching or anything else. Easier to do it with one hand and two eyes than two hands and one eye.
