A 12-year-old boy from New Jersey, identified as Xavier Taylor, is in critical condition after a baseball strike during warmups before a game, according to reports. NBC News says Taylor is seriously injured after being hit in the head during warm-ups at the field last week. Global News Canada reports that Taylor was walking back toward the dugout when he was hit with a baseball, placing the incident near Fellowship Columbia Bank Field and describing the impact as occurring in the neck. Both accounts describe the same incident involving Taylor during pregame activity and his current critical status. The reports do not provide additional verified details about the circumstances, such as who threw the ball, whether it was part of a practice drill, or what specific medical procedures have been undertaken. Coverage focuses on the injury severity and Taylor’s condition following the hit.
