Tanner was about to step up to the batter's box, but paused when he saw University Prep's Coach come out of their dugout. A pitcher change. After one batter. Tanner retreated back to Noah. Mr. Miller came from the third base coach's box to talk to them.
I looked to Coach.
He felt my eyes on him. "Got a question?"
I shrugged. "What are we going to do?"
"Naturally we play baseball." He smiled and gave my shoulder a pat. "Don't fret. We've got to see what they're throwing at us first."
The new pitcher came jogging in from the bullpen. He was huge.
"Damn. That's a teenager?" I heard Logan utter in disbelief from the bench behind me.
I glanced back and gave a nod to show that I didn't believe it either.
"What are the chances that that guy is their number one pitcher this year?" Garret asked no one in particular as he came up to stand near me and Coach, ready for his at bat.
