Jeremy Medina family sue Gainesville High batting cage incident [Video]

GAINESVILLE, Ga. — A heartbroken Georgia family is now suing school leaders and athletics staff at Gainesville High School after their loved one died following a batting cage accident last year.

Jeremy Medina was hit in the head with a bat after he accidentally leaned into the batting cage net during hitting drills at the team’s indoor facility on Nov. 20. After a month spent fighting for his life, he was declared brain dead and later died. 

He was a senior who played pitcher and catcher on Gainesville High School’s baseball team in 2022.

According to the lawsuit, Jeremy’s parents are asking for damages of at least nearly $725,000 and a jury trial for the school officials’ alleged negligence and claiming a wrongful death.
