Rating: 4/10 --
A predictable baseball drama with a completely implausible ending. Sort of like Michael Ritchie's The Scout (1994) without the comedy.

Rating: 59/100 --
Plays like a bad teleplay that hopes its audience will forget they've seen this same film countless times in different incarnations.
Apollo Guide
It's by no means some sort of quote-whoringly "fantastic stuff," "the best baseball movie since Ken Burns took 18 hours of my life" or even "a home run." Sometimes a solid single is all that it takes.

Product Description:
A greedy baseball club owner puts the screws to talent scout Virgil Sweet (Edward James Olmos) since he hasn't produced a major phenom. But lady luck is about to find her way into Virgil's life. While on a long drive with his girlfriend, Virgil's car kicks but it proves a mixed blessing when he catches site of 20-year-old Sammy Bodeen tossing beautiful pitches in a sandlot game. After tons of leg work and some parental arm-twisting, Virgil manages to sign the boy. Sadly, however, he must sit back and watch the team owner exploit his gifted new recruit.
