Dodgers -World Bobby Miller got a huge fear on Thursday during his team's spring training opener when he was hit by a 106 MPH Line Drive.
Miller stood on the hill in the first half of the third inning and threw the Michael Busch from the Cubs when the Infielder immediately hit an 80 MPH throw back to the Dodgers player.
Miller immediately went down and held his head while teammates and Dodgers employees attended him.
He was able to walk away under his own strength.
Dodgers -Manager Dave Roberts later told reporters that the pitcher was in a concussion protocol.
Miller 25, goes into the Majors his third season after he was set up by the Dodgers in 2020.

Miller was checked by Dodgers teammates and staff and walked away under his own power
He started 13 games for LA last season, but was sent to the minors in July in the midst of struggles on the hill.
Miller returned a month later to the rotation of the Dodgers, but continued to give up runs and ended the season with an ERA of 8.52.
He finally got the World Series selection from the team away while they defeated the Yankees to win the championship.
Dodgers president Andrew Friedman told reporters last week that the franchise was planning to use a five-man rotation to start the season, until Shohei Ohtani can pitch in May and complete a six-man group.
Ohtani has not thrown since August 2023 after undergoing Tommy John operation.
In the meantime, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, Tyler GlasNow and Blake Snell are also considered locks for the rotation, while Veteran-Rechte Right-Rights Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May will fight with Miller for the last place in the rotation.
Landon Knack, who started 12 games last year, is also an option for the rotation.
