Well he's fine so it's now safe to enjoy the hilarious show of self-inflicted pain and suffering put on by outfielder Dan O'Reilly of Henry Sibley high school in Minnesota.
As you can see in the video above, the righty fouled a ball directly into his groin, and then went through the various stages of anguish when an object makes strong contact in that area.
"I was pretty out of it," O'Reilly told TwinCities.com of his state of mind after the pitch. "I don't remember much. I remember throwing my helmet. I remember that I was not very happy, and that I wasnot coming out of the game."
O'Reilly's breakdown in a 20-1 blowout win included squatting, falling to the ground, getting support from an umpire, and eventually, a dab to indicate he was on the road to recovery.
"I got home, grabbed a bag of frozen peas and was good to go the next morning," he said.
