4th worst moment: Dylan Moore’s season ends after getting hit in the head for the 2nd time

Dylan Moore was on a roll with 7 home runs and an .866 OPS before he was hit in the head with a near 100 mph fastball against the San Francisco Giants, then less than a week later he was hit in the head again and it ended his season.

After getting hit in the head by a pitch from Houston Astros reliever Brandon Bielak, Dylan Moore had to leave the game on September 21st, and then he was later placed on the 7-day concussion IL and would not appear in a game the rest of the season.

Moore would finish his shortened 2020 season with 8 home runs and an .855 OPS in just 38 games played, leading to renewed hope for what he can contribute to the Mariners after a disappointing rookie season in 2019.

While I am excited to see Moore as the starting second baseman in 2021 and hopefully see his great stats from 2020 carryover, seeing him hit twice in the head in the space of one week and having to be placed on the injury list due to a concussion is obviously concerning. Hopefully, Moore won’t have any more problems with concussions but man, both moments were incredibly scary.
