2019 BYB Tigers Prospects #11: RHP Kyle Funkhouser needs to stay healthy in 2019

Have you ever had a freak injury? I have. It was fourth grade and my mom dropped me off for school 10 minutes early, like usual, so I could go play outside at my school’s playground before the teachers let us in and started class. I took about three steps, fell on a patch of ice, and fell straight on my head. The injury required around six stitches, but I was back to full health in about a week (you would really think the janitors would salt the ice right there).

Flash forward to late July 2018. Kyle Funkhouser is walking home from a game, but falls victim to an uneven portion of the sidewalk.
