A 2014 Bloomberg analysis of foul ball-related injuries predicted that roughly 1,750 fans a year are injured due to batted balls at all of the Major League Baseball stadiums.

In fact, the number of spectators hurt by batted balls exceeded the number of batters hit by pitches, Bloomberg found.
So during the regular season, there around 10 fan injuries per day around the MLB. That's kind of astounding. Obviously many of those injuries are probably minor like jammed fingers or whatever, but still.
