The fear of retrieving the ball from Tank's pen has turned Nick into a lousy fielder. How can he ever hope to win the contest when he can't even catch a fly ball?

Determined to succeed, Nick turns to his best friend, Ace, and a new girl with an impressive throwing arm. Together, they practice tirelessly to improve Nick's skills. But that's not all - Nick must also resort to desperate measures, including lying to his parents and even blackmailing his uncle, to secure his chance at the contest.

With every swing of the bat, Nick finds himself discovering more about life, learning to face curveballs, both on and off the field.
