There's no such thing as safety
At the risk of sounding obvious: bats and balls are a requirement of baseball; 'terrorists' (who have never, as far as I'm aware, shown up at a baseball game) are not. We can't deny that Ms. Kerod's injury is unfortunate. And I don't think we can deny that she should be properly looked after - by the state or by an insurance policy (the two are, after all, essentially the same). But to take a sport that is inherently fairly safe and try to make it safer is a fool's errand. Risk is inherent in everything we do. It is a requirement of the human condition. If we reduced risk to a negligible level - even if it were possible - I'm guessing we'd all lose our marbles.
