I do business with an online only shop. About a month or so ago I got an email from them saying they were being sued because the web site was not ADA compliant. Site owner said it was specifically designed to comply. Owner did some checking and found the “lawyer” had quite a few suits of this sort active or completed. The kicker, for a “voluntary” contribution of about $4000, he would drop the suit.
Presumably, it would be up to the owners of the stadium to sue for damaging their property. If it were the player’s home stadium, they could dock his pay to replace the fan.
In Game Seven of the 1985 World Series, Cardinals starter John Tudor was driven from the mound in the 3rd inning, giving up five runs on the way to an 11-0 loss.
A few innings later, it was reported that Tudor had been taken to the hospital for stitches, after having hit a fan. It took a few more moments before the game announcers were able to determine that he had tried to punch an ELECTRIC fan, and had cut his hand up in the process.

Boy, talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Next thing you know, they’ll sue the dirt for staining their uniforms.

I thought it was a general rule that fans got what was justly coming to them.
