This is an absolutely horrific story. 18-year-old high school Georgia baseball star Jeremy Medina will be taken off of life support after accidentally getting hit with a follow-through swing during batting practice.

The shocking part is the freak accident could have happened to any of us or our children.

Medina's family and Gainesville High School principal Jamie Green informed the catcher / pitcher's teammates about the sad news on Thursday. The incident occurred back on November 20th that left Medina in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. His family announced that they will donate his organs.

An investigation found no wrongdoing and called Medina's injury 'a horrific accident.' Medina was leaning into the batting room caging when his teammate's bat unexpectedly hit him.
