D. Baxter the Bobcat was pretty close to being smashed in the face by a flying baseball bat on Thursday.

Addison Russell sent his bat flying into the stands where it nearly hit the Diamondbacks mascot:

Luckily, no one was hurt. Baxter DID look like he wanted to hurt Russell for the mishap, though.

The Cubs beat the D-Backs 14-6.
