Bookroo's summary

Sylvester's baseball skills have landed him on the bench, but a mysterious figure named Cheeko offers to help. As Sylvester learns new tricks, he can't shake the feeling that something isn't right. Is Cheeko's guidance genuine, or is there a hidden agenda? With his spot on the team at stake, Sylvester must decide whether to trust his instincts or take a leap of faith. Will he uncover the truth before it's too late?

From the publisher

Sylvester’s baseball has been so dismal that the coach has him warming the bench. So when Cheeko offers to show him a few pointers, he eagerly accepts his offer. But Sylvester can’t help thinking there’s something fishy about Cheeko.
