What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Jose Mendez is the best fielder on the Peach Street Mudders baseball team. But that’s not enough for him. He wants to be a great batter, too, just like his father was when he played in the minor leagues. But every time Jose picks up the bat, disaster strikes. Will Jose ever be able to match his dad’s .375 batting average? Or can he discover another way to be a hit with his father?
