The Gainesville community is keeping Jeremy Medina, a high school student in their thoughts and prayers, wishing for a swift and successful recovery from the serious injuries sustained in a batting cage accident on Monday.
Gainesville High School senior Jeremy Medina, a pitcher and catcher for the school’s baseball team, was accidentally struck in the head with a bat inside the team’s batting cages early Monday afternoon, according to school officials.
It happened at the school at 1:20 p.m.
Medina played as a pitcher and catcher for the school team during the 2022 season.
School officials said Medina has since been in stable condition though he remains in a coma at Northeast Georgia Medical Center.
“The entire Gainesville community is devastated by the news,” the school said in a heartfelt statement on Facebook.
“His family are firm believers in Jesus Christ and His redemptive love, and are requesting prayer during this extremely difficult time,” the post continues.
The devastating news comes just weeks after a middle school athlete was also placed in a coma for nearly three weeks before passing away.
