Reseña del libro "A Young Pitcher: a story about baseball (en Inglés)"
A YOUNG PITCHER is the first book in the three-novel series about George Grant, a 15-year-old farm boy in the upper Midwest. As he helps his dad with the summer harvest, a sudden thunderstorm sweeps through and George and his dad are struck by lightning. George survives with burned arms and back. Now his widowed mother must raise him and his younger brother, Roy, while she struggles to manage the Grant farm.When his burns are healed George and Roy resume their baseball practices, something they have done for more than two years. They have a pitcher's mound and backstop so George can work on his game. That fall George is a high school sophomore. His goal is to pitch for the high school baseball team.George has lingering effects from the lightning strike. When he throws a baseball or when he picks up something heavy, like an alfalfa hay bale, he gets tingling sensations from his fingertips to his shoulders. The tingles are never painful. They just feel funny, like he bumped his funny bone. They seem to give him extra strength. He can pick up heavy objects with ease. George also discovers that he now has great speed and uncanny accuracy when pitching a baseball. Almost every pitch is a strike.The accident also strangely affects his vision. He sees a baseball moving through the air like it is in slow motion, but his vision isn't affected in any other way. Only his family, close neighbors and the doctors who examine him know about the tingles and vision. He is often checked by the family doctor and an eye doctor. The results are always the same. None of the effects of the lightning strike show up on their testing devices. George appears to be a healthy teenage boy.Early in the baseball season the high school coaches and players realize that George has unique talent and he becomes a highly valued member of the team. As the season progresses he plays a critical role in helping the team achieve greater success than anyone thought possible.
