The Chicago outfielder is reportedly doing fine, and Eaton’s X-rays have come back negative. Still, heading into a wall like that you have to wonder about his periphery. Is it the glasses? The green fence blending in with the stands?
Eaton is just 5-8 so it’s any wonder if he would be able to even clear the fence had he timed his jump correctly. In any case, the 25-year-old product out of Miami of Ohio is no stranger to banging into the wall, albeit sometimes with much better results.
