New York Mets first baseman Jared Young was carted off on a stretcher Thursday night following a terrifying collision with teammate Nolan McLean during a game against the Phillies at Citi Field.

The play unfolded in the top of the sixth inning when the Phillies' Justin Crawford grounded a slow roller up the first-base line. Both Young and McLean, the Mets' starting pitcher, converged to field the ball.

As Young dove toward the grounder, McLean attempted to jump over his teammate.
