After his family life starts falling to pieces, Tyler heads to New York to live with relatives and play baseball in Central Park. Although he is very talented, his inability to control his temper is holding back his potential. With his coach’s guidance, Tyler starts working to put his life back together and make the all-star team.
The main charcter is Tyler. He is a great baseball player but he has some anger problems becuase people pick on him but becuase of his love of baseball he tries to ignore them
