Synopsis: Jack can zip the ball to the catcher, but his pitches never find their way into the strike zone. When a baseball coach from the local college shows Jack some new pitches and tells him about Steve Dalkowski, a hard-throwing left-hander often considered the fastest pitcher in baseball history who never made it out of the minors, Jack realizes that he needs to change his gameplan.
