Red Sox Prospect Bryce Brentz Shoots Himself By Mistake



Red Sox prospect, Bryce Brentz accidentally shot himself when cleaning his gun. The 24 year old Brentz was lucky to be OK. So apparently he was cleaning his gun and he probably set off the trigger by mistake. The bullet went through his left leg. Here's what GM, Ben Cherington had to say about this.

"He was at home cleaning a gun, and it accidentally went off,'' Cherington said. "Fortunately for him, it's something he's going to recover from and be fine, and it won't affect his baseball career.

So this incident will not ruin his career. Brentz has been a good prospect in the Red Sox's farm system. He hit a combined .290 batting average, 17 home runs, and 76 RBI's in Double A and Triple A. Brentz will be able to heal fully by the end of spring training and could play in some games.
