She thought the hardest part of softball was winning. She was wrong.

Maya Rodriguez lives for the crack of the bat, the rush of the game, and the feeling of being unstoppable on the field. But when her freshman season heats up, so does the pressure—and suddenly, talent isn’t enough.

After being diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, Maya’s world shifts. Focus isn’t automatic anymore. Every at-bat feels louder. Every mistake feels bigger. And every game becomes a battle inside her own mind.

At the same time, her best friend—and biggest competition—Kendall Price is rising fast.

She’s consistent.

Disciplined.

Everything Maya feels like she’s not.

What starts as a friendly rivalry turns into something deeper:

As stats climb, pressure builds Maya has to figure out one thing:

Can she learn to control the game… without losing herself?
