Batting Order

Batting Order

A New York Times bestseller

From acclaimed author of the Home Team Mike Lupica comes a brand-new novel about the heart and soul of baseball.

On or off the field, Matt and Ben couldnâ€™t be more different. Ben Roberson is an all-or-nothing player: heâ€™s big, heâ€™s bold, and heâ€™s brash. Benâ€™s swing can hit a ball right out of the parkâ€”but thatâ€™s if he can get a hit at all.

Matt Baker is small, and shy, and his stutter has him avoiding the spotlightâ€”even if heâ€™s the best all-rounder on the team. But while Matt knows heâ€™s got the chops, a part of him has always envied â€œBig Benâ€ and his attention-grabbing charm.

So itâ€™s a total shock when Ben asks Matt to help him work on his swing. Because Ben canâ€™t put the ball into play, and his showboating comes at the expense of the team. And even though Mattâ€™s trying to help, Ben doesnâ€™t seem to take him seriously, especially when it means toning things down.

The end of the season is fast approachingâ€”is there enough time for Ben to realize bigger isnâ€™t always better? For Matt to understand that sometimes, being the bigger person means standing up for yourself?

Or will they have to accept defeat?
