Durham Bulls pitcher Tyler Zombro shared a photo of his head after surgery, and it’s gross.
The Tampa Bay Rays prospect was drilled in the head by the ball in a recent game, and his body was convulsing on the ground in one of the scariest sports moments in recent memory. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Zombro recently tweeted a photo of his head after having surgery, and he had multiple staples in his skill. He wrote, “Unbelievably grateful to be in the situation I’m currently in with the incredible help from @DukeHospital & staff. To all of you that have showered my family and I with positive thoughts, I have no doubt that all of the prayer support kept God with me throughout that night.”
You can see the photo below.

Luckily, Zombro survived, made it through surgery and is now on the road to recovery. Just seeing the photo of his head makes me borderline sick.
It goes to show just how serious the situation was. I can’t remember the last time I saw a guy’s skull look like that after a sports injury.
as I’m in a very fortunate position all things considered. The outpouring support and prayer has meant the world to Moriah and I, and I certainly believe you guys have well wished me to an enhanced recovery. pic.twitter.com/tUssSYF7mn

Now, he has a long road to recovery ahead of him, and it won’t be easy. Dealing with head injuries is an incredibly serious situation.
To @raysbaseball and @durhambulls I cannot thank you guys enough for treating me the way you have, as this is what makes our organization so special. In optimistic news: I’ve never been the fastest on the field so I may have gotten a boost after this surgery. pic.twitter.com/h9YXbzTvSn

Hopefully, he eventually returns to 100%. Zombro getting drilled was horrifying, and there’s no other way to put it.
