Daniel Ponce de Leon's hard-fought journey to Major League Baseball
and recovery from a near-death injury, followed by his astonishing
big league debut, will inspire readers to trust God in all
circumstances. The path you take to achieving your dreams is not
always easy. Daniel Ponce de Leon, an acclaimed pitcher for the St.
Louis Cardinals, overcame many challenges to get to the Major
Leagues. Drafted four times, he spent a long four years climbing
his way up through the minors before finally reaching AAA, only one
step away from the Major Leagues. Then, Daniel's dream was almost
shattered when he was struck in the head by a line drive. Spending
weeks in the hospital and months recovering from a large epidural
hematoma, skull fracture, brain swelling, and hemorrhaging, Daniel
held on to his belief that he would one day realize his dream.
Fourteen months later, and fully recovered, he made his first Major
League start, becoming the fifth pitcher in modern Major League
history to throw seven innings of no-hit ball in his first outing.
MLB.com referred to it as one of the greatest debuts in Major
League Baseball history. In One Line Drive, Daniel retells his
remarkable journey, sharing how he never would have made it without
his faith in God and the support of family and friends. Full of
grit, determination, and faith, Daniel's story is an inspiring
reminder to keep pressing on regardless of any setback or
disappointment.
