In an Instagram post, Imhof said a large piece of metal hit him in the eye and head, fracturing his nose and two orbital bones and causing the loss of vision in his right eye.
"That night, the doctors informed me that the damage to my eye was extreme and essentially that my eye had been crushed like a grape," Imhof wrote.
Imhof, the Phillies' second-round pick in the 2014 first-year player draft, said he will have a prosthetic eye placed in his right socket

Big left handed pitcher, at least he's not a hitter. He probably still has a legitimate chance to play. If he were a hitter, his career is over.

Can he still throw accurate pitches with his depth perception being damaged?

That's a shame.

Forget baseball! He lost an eye that is a life changing event that will cause great impact on his daily living regardless of baseball. His career is obviously over. I feel bad for the guy.

Dude is about to make bank. Still sucks.

Several pitchers have made it to the big leagues with only one eye but I agree that it is obviously life changing in other ways.
