No, he's not dead. But, he's in hospital. He'll never be same again. Brain injuries are the worst 
Think about it. Something that fucking fast hitting your head? I seriously can't believe no skull fracture. If you read the "other" stories? That's the shit you'd expect. It's called observation to see if brain swelling and/or see if any bleeds start to show. It's awesome he remained conscious. That's a major plus. Anytime you get a concussion, that's a brain injury. It's just the severity of it. The lack of education and how they misdiagnose it all the time is astounding!!
Look it up sometime. This is why they are cracking down on school sports.

That's exactly my thoughts. He's very, VERY lucky if it truly is only a mild concussion.
Perhaps they're keeping him overnight because they're suspicious of the lack of injuries like we are. i.e. "This SHOULD be worse... let's keep an eye on him" kinda thing.
Exactly. And I pray it truly is for his sake and his family. But knowing the media, and of course a sports franchise, they will sugar coat it for the fans. Then again, if they were to jyst send him home, you'd get the bachlash of an even bigger wtf moment and why. Double edge sword and I just hope and pray for the best. I don't trust media 100%. I take it for what it's worth...
Here...
It came a month after Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ was also struck by a liner against the Rays and suffered a skull fracture. Happ was discharged from an area hospital the following day.
While Happ has been fine since getting hurt, Arizona's Brandon McCarthy collapsed at a restaurant with a seizure related to the head injury he suffered while pitching last September. He was having dinner with his wife at a Phoenix restaurant when he passed out.
AND...
While pitching for Oakland last Sept. 5, McCarthy suffered what was described at the time as life-threatening injuries when he was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Erick Aybar of the Los Angeles Angels. He had an epidural hemorrhage, brain contusion and a skull fracture. Emergency surgery was performed that night and he was released from the hospital six days later.
Because it's an opinion and I understand that it's yours. Just like mine is mine.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and you're an asshole.
Or something like that.
Got three concussions in football. High school and college. Worst one is i was crossing the middle on slant pattern. Jumped caught the ball. The next thing i remember was being at home. 5 hours later. Apparently i was walking and moving around but not acting normal. I was in the huddle of the other team at one point.
Thanks for your input guys, but it's sad how stuff was so nonchalant back in the days about concussions and sports injuries. Loss if time and memory. Then each subsequent hit adds to injury and it only gets worse.
I did read that the guy who hit the ball didn't even want to run to first because he wanted to see how pitcher was. That would suck. Total accident and nothing you could do about it, but freak shit happens. Poor guys all the way around.
