Parent manager Mike Shildt said Poplham “seemed alert” while trying to shake the terrifying incident.
“Our prayers are with him,” said Shildt, through MLB.com. “I was aware, it seemed alert, I knew where I was. But clearly something terrifying … I clearly had some pain, and obviously when something like that happens, a little stunned.”
Poplham has been in the parents of the parents of the parents since 2023. He played a university ball at the University of New Orleans and then participated in the MLB Draft League for the Mahoning Valley Scrappers.
