From the publisher

Jared Richards is undefeated in baseball games–video games, anyway. But when he loses a bet to his best friend, Jared is forced to get off the couch and step onto the field for his school’s baseball team tryouts. Despite the fact that he’s never even held a baseball before, Jared ends up being pretty impressive as a pitcher–until the line between video games and reality begins to blur. Can Jared sort out the glitch in his brain before he blows the big game?
