A poignant story about hopes, dreams, and how far one man's talent
takes him before he realizes it's about what you do-and how you do
it. Frank Ryder is unstoppable on the baseball field-his pitches
arrive faster than a batter can swing, giving his opponents no
chance. He's being heralded as a game-changing pitcher. But within
the maelstrom of press, adulation, and wild speculation, Frank is a
man alone. Haunted by a tragic incident from years past, he yearns
to be the best but cannot reconcile the guilt he carries with the
man everyone believes him to be. Frank's path to redemption leads
him on a journey back to where his life changed forever, to visit
his family, his high school coach, and his brother. Through
reconnection and reconciliation with those also deeply affected by
the devastating event of Frank's youth, he finds peace and his
place in the world both in and outside the game. The Fireballer is
a lyrical, moving story of undeniable talent and the life-changing
power of forgiveness and a subtly romantic ode to America's
favorite pastime.
