Publisher's Synopsis
The three books in this dramatic, semi-autobiographical middle grade series from MLB pitcher Marcus Stroman are now together in a collectible hardcover boxed set, with stories following a young baseball player who learns that dedicating yourself to something requires passion, practice, and sacrifice.
Young Marcus Stroman is determined to make it to the highest playing level he can, despite a lot of people, including a teammate, telling him he's not tall enough to become a "real" pitcher. He'll show them...with some struggling and a whole lot of learning, from tuning out online criticism to not letting other people define him. For every professional sports player there was a kid just learning that sport, dealing with nerves during try-outs, dropping the ball when all their teammates are counting on them, and learning how to handle pressure. These hard lessons are universal whether in the majors or on a school playing field, and so are teamwork, competition, and believing in yourself. This inspiring hardcover boxed set includes:The Grip
