Kyle Schwarber saved a young fan from potentially getting hit by warmup pitch
Kyle Schwarber wanted to make sure it was safe for a fan.
In a remarkable display of quick instincts, Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber saved a young fan from what could have been a dangerous situation during a recent game. Before the first pitch of Sunday's contest between the Twins and Phillies, young fans were invited onto the field to meet with each Twins player. It was then that Schwarber noticed a youngster running towards the path of Twins pitcher Dean Kremer's warmup pitches.
Acting swiftly, Schwarber intervened, preventing the child from potentially running towards home plate as Kremer was throwing. The young fan was running with his head down, which could have led to a tragic incident. Fortunately, Schwarber's alertness saved the day, and he gently guided the child back to the dugout. Demonstrating excellent sportsmanship, Schwarber handled the situation like a caring father, earning praise from fans and media alike.
