I have never seen a play where a few seconds made any difference in the extent of an injury. I saw the worst case of ball off the bat to the pitcher's head this Spring in a HS scrimmage game. Runner on 1B at the time. The new umpires working this game let play continue until the 1b man picked up the ball and runner seeing this stopped at 2B. 3-4 seconds, tops. This guy was not unconscious and I don't understand how. The delay before he could be helped off the field was about 10 minutes. I thought the new umps did a good job.
