Masyn Winn is “feeling great” after he was involved in a car accident hours after he notched a walk-off hit against the Mets on Wednesday — but the same cannot be said for his vehicle.
The Cardinals shortstop shared a photo of the wreck on his Instagram story Thursday, showing the mangled front bumper on his black sedan as first responders worked on the scene.
“For everyone wondering… I’m feeling great!” Wynn’s caption read. “Car is a little banged up but nothing that can’t be replaced! Big thanks to our security team and first responders for taking care of me! See yall on the field soon!”
Winn, 24, was driving alone on Interstate 64 near St. Louis before the single-car crash, which was caused by wet pavement, according to a statement from the Cardinals.
The Gold Glove winner was taken to a hospital for an evaluation after the crash, but did not sustain any serious injuries and was released shortly thereafter.
“We are grateful that he is OK, and thank the first responders in our community who helped Masyn tonight,” the Cardinals said in a statement.
Hours earlier, Winn led the Cardinals to a 2-1 win over the Mets in the 11th inning.
Facing Mets reliever Tobias Myers, Winn blooped a hit to right that fell in front of a diving Carson Benge, giving St. Louis its fourth win of the season.
