A Japanese umpire remains unconscious more than two weeks after being struck in the head by a flying bat, according to the AFP. Takuto Kawakami reportedly underwent emergency surgery after being hit with a bat that escaped a batter’s hand during an April 16 game and landed in intensive care. He has since been transferred to the general ward of the hospital, the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization told reporters, per the AFP.
