Re: Batters that you would not wanna take a line drive to the head...
Any and every batter.
Being a pitcher in high school and college and taking a line drive off the leg, arm and shoulder.....there's no batter I want hitting one back at me. I also caught a few liners back at me (one that was heading right at my face). However, the one's I caught were pure luck. Just put the glove up and hope. -

^^ Seriously.
I do not wanna be hit in the head by any batted ball. I don't care if it's from a 12 year old."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Batters that you would not wanna take a line drive to the head...
Believe me, you dont even want to take a line drive off the head from the #9 guy in the order on a high school baseball team, I pitched for my high school team this year, and I also catch I have seen it way too many times and its usually really bad. Last year it was a batter on my team that got the worst of it, a 93 MPH fastball right in the eye, will never play baseball again.OS AL... Best Record... (190-103-27 --- .636)
OS NFL... (7-7)
OS NBA... (1-6)

Any batter. Especially a major league batter. This is why they don't use aluminum bats in the majors. Someone is liable to get killed.I have more respect for a man who let's me know where he stands, even if he's wrong.

Willy Mo Pena, your head would explode on contact if he made good contact with the ball. He is one of the strongest guys in the league.Comment

One that specifically comes to mind is Andruw Jones...imagine if he took one his HR swings that puts him on one knee, only instead of the ball flying away into the stands....it's a come backer at the pitcher's head.

Sheffield for me, especially when he gets pissed off and swings like he wants to inflict serious pain on the baseball.Comment

Seriously though... definitely Gary Sheffield or Ryan Klesko (assuming he ever plays again). But, like everybody else... a line drive to the head is like running full speed into a pull-up bar. It's going to hurt regardless.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

No one...
The closest thing to that that happened to me was a lazy flyball that smacked me on the top of my head
