A GoFundMe page set up for the 20-year-old claims he is now awake, alert, and communicating.
Jennifer Phillips, the woman who made the page, offered the update this weekend, noting that Markwood has a long road to full recovery but that his progress, given the gravity of the situation, is miraculous.
“As of this morning, Kavan is awake, alert, and able to speak,” she wrote. “After everything he’s been through since the accident on Wednesday night, this progress feels nothing short of miraculous.”
“He still has a long road ahead of him, but today brought a moment of hope that we’ve all been holding onto,” she added.

Markwood fell after Pittsburgh hitter Andrew McCutchen gave the Pirates a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning. CBS reported that a second fan jumped from seating in a lower area to assist him. He was eventually stretchered off, leaving the field motionless.
The incident prompted a 10-minute delay, with trainers and police attending to Markwood.
The Pirates conducted an internal investigation and have since revealed that Markwood did not purchase any alcohol but drank two beers during the game.
The GoFundMe page had raised over $34,000 at the time of writing.
