Correa lines ball off Lewis' head that's caught for out

MLB.com

Colby Lewis has an iron dome.

The Texas Rangers right-hander took a Carlos Correa liner off the back of his noggin, and didn't even flinch. He just shook it off and walked around the mound like nothing happened, appearing completely unfazed by the whole thing.

Lewis was helped out by second baseman Rougned Odor, who drifted back into short center field and made a great diving catch to record the bizarre 1-4 pop-out. After throwing a few warmup pitches, Lewis remained in the game, to the shock of just about everybody watching.

Lewis told reporters after the game that the ball grazed his glove before hitting his head, which presumably slowed the speed of the line drive down upon impact.

The crazy thing about all this? It wasn't even close to his best defensive play of the night.
