David Gray is notorious in his baseball league, notorious for striking out, both as a pitcher and a batter. He spends so much time practicing his pitching, he has never honed his batting skills. After learning about the great Babe Ruth, David becomes determined to be a better all-around player, which means he'll have to learn how to bat. With some help from a teammate, David hopes to never hear the words "Mr. Strike Out" again.
