Bookroo's summary

Chico Romez joins the Royals baseball team, eager to showcase his outfield skills. Yet, String Becker, the popular first baseman, targets him with relentless criticism and mockery. As tensions rise, Chico must navigate this rivalry and prove his value both on and off the field. Will he overcome String's hostility and find his place on the team?

From the publisher

Chico Romez is new to the Royals baseball team, but all the players welcome him and his ability in the outfield. All the players except one, that is. String Becker, the first baseman and most popular member of the team, seems to have it in for Chico. He yells at Chico for committing foolish mistakes, snubs him on and off the field, and worst of all, makes fun of Chico’s love of diving and swimming. What will it take for Chico to prove himself to Sting?
