This was a very scary sight.

Blue Jays pitcher T.J. House was hit in the head with a line dive in today's spring training game against the Detroit Tigers and it sounds horrible.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus says TJ House was "bleeding quite a bit. There was blood on his face, blood in his glove, everything."

House was on the ground for a very long time

T.J. House has been on the ground for 18 minutes after being hit on side of head by a John Hicks line drive. Going into ambulance now.

Reports say House gave the thumbs up as he left the field, and he's now being evaluated at a local hospital.

And, accounts say the ball literally rocketed off his face.

It went way up in the air, back towards the plate and over towards the first base line. https://t.co/TX162csIBB

The game was called in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Here's hoping he's OK.
