ST. LOUIS — Busch Stadium was silent for a split second, then erupted in controversy: Willson Contreras was hit in the right foot by a ball traveling 82.9 mph from Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland. In a fit of pain and frustration, he slammed his bat into the ground, then snapped it in half on his thigh as he walked toward base — a heated moment that sparked a social media frenzy.
“Another ball?” — The Last straw
Contreras leads the NL in hits this season (behind only a few other MLB players), and the feeling of being “targeted” has caused him to explode with emotion several times recently.
He stayed in the game until the end of the fifth inning, before leaving the game and being replaced at first base early in the sixth. X-rays came back negative (no fracture), the initial diagnosis was a right foot injury.
The Trigger of a “Painful Season”
Not just tonight’s pitch: Contreras has repeatedly spoken out about his string of HBPs over the past few weeks, even exchanging words after being hit in tense games. Emotions have built up to the point where another hit turned into a stormy broken bat.
The Cardinals are still in the race, and losing Contreras in the middle of a game has further fueled the debate about hitting people & player protection.
From a broken forearm in 2024 to multiple HBPs this year — Contreras’ “getting hit to get up” story has always been viral material.
Manager Oliver Marmol confirmed a clean X-ray and acknowledged “a tough situation.” The team has not announced whether Contreras will miss the next game.
