by Matt Christopher (Author)
A young baseball player struggles to overcome his fear of a pitched ball, improve his throwing, and somehow redeem himself in the eyes of his teammates.
Jody just can't bring himself to throw hard, so the ball usually falls short of its mark. Taunts of "catcher's got a glass arm" echo in his ears. Then injury is added to insult when he's beaned by a wild pitch--and suddenly he's having trouble hitting as well as throwing. What good is a ballplayer who's afraid of the ball?
