A high school baseball star in Georgia who was declared brain dead after being accidentally hit in the head with a bat during practice has died, according to his family.

Gainesville High School standout Jeremy Medina’s “heart stopped about an hour” before his grandmother arrived to attend an honor walk for his organ donation Monday, his family said in a statement.

“We know Jeremy was and will always be in God’s hands and we will see him soon,” the family wrote on Facebook Tuesday.

“We are grateful for all the prayers and support over the last three weeks, and we appreciate everyone’s understanding as we take time now to be with our family,” the loved ones added.

Medina, 18, was hospitalized in a coma after being struck in the head on Nov. 20.

Gainesville High Principal Jamie Green has said that Medina was leaning into a batting cage net while a teammate hit balls.

“As a player followed through on his swing, Jeremy leaned into the net and was struck in the head,” Green said. “There is no horseplay, no misconduct, and no intent.”

Medina’s family said he had a scholarship offer to play college ball before the tragedy. He played both pitcher and catcher on the school’s baseball team in 2022.

The tragic youngster was a devout Christian who hoped to become a youth minister while pursuing his baseball dreams, according to his father, David.

“Our strength, my family’s strength, my strength since day one has been rooted in the most amazing power of Jesus Christ,” he said.

Last week, a doctor described the teen’s medical condition as “neurologically dead,” 11 Alive reported.

“It’s inspiring to see how they’ve handled this with grace and prayerful thought,” Dr. Michael Cormican told WSB-TV about the family.

Services for Medina have not yet been announced.
