David Kroft faces immense pressure to uphold his family's baseball legacy after his star brother, Don, is sidelined by an injury. With doubts about his own abilities, David must navigate the expectations and prove himself on the field. Can he rise to the challenge and honor the Kroft name, or will the weight of family history be too much to bear?
Baseball runs in David Kroft’s family. His father was a good player in his day, his uncles play on professional teams, and David’s older brother, Don, is the best shortstop in the history of Penwood High School. David loves baseball as much as the rest of his family, but he isn’t quite as fast on his feet, and he thinks he makes too many errors. When Don hurts his leg in an accident and has to sit out the rest of the season, the pressure is on David to play better than ever. Will he be able to live up to the Kroft name?
