Todd Frazier says he's found some relief after speaking to the family of the girl hospitalized after being hit in the face by a 105mph foul ball during a baseball game Wednesday, the New York Times reports. The New York Yankees player says he spoke to the girl's father Thursday. 

“He said she’s doing OK,” the New York Daily News quotes Frazier as saying Friday night. “We didn’t really get much into details about it. I didn’t want to cross any boundaries ... But he said she’s doing well." Frazier says the girl's father told him the family understands it was a "freak accident" and not his fault. The player says he plans to call the family daily to check on the girl and hopefully meet the family in person at some point.
