A scary scene took place during the Giants’ spring training game in Surprise, AZ on Saturday, when new first-base coach Jose Alguacil was struck in the face with a foul line drive, causing him to be carted off the field, and then airlifted to a trauma center in Phoenix.

According to Andrew Baggarly of the Bay Area News Group, Alguacil was seated along the backstop and dugout when he was struck. On a positive note, Alguacil did not lose consciousness according to Bruce Bochy, and was able to stand afterward. The impact was great enough to result in a pool of blood being left where he was struck.

This is Alguacil’s first season as a San Francisco Giants’ base coach after managing the Sacramento River Cats last season.

We will update this story when we have more information on Alguacil’s status.
