A poignant story about hopes, dreams, and how far one man’s talent takes him before he realizes it’s about what you do—and how you do it.

Frank Ryder is unstoppable on the baseball field—his pitches arrive faster than a batter can swing, giving his opponents no chance. He’s being heralded as a game-changing pitcher.

But within the maelstrom of press, adulation, and wild speculation, Frank is a man alone. Haunted by a tragic incident from years past, he yearns to be the best but cannot reconcile the guilt he carries with the man everyone believes him to be. Frank’s path to redemption leads him on a journey back to where his life changed forever, to visit his family, his high school coach, and his brother. Through reconnection and reconciliation with those also deeply affected by the devastating event of Frank’s youth, he finds peace and his place in the world both in and outside the game.

The Fireballer is a lyrical, moving story of undeniable talent and the life-changing power of forgiveness and a subtly romantic ode to America’s favorite pastime.

Baseball is a game of inches. But Frank Ryder throws so hard that the inches are disappearing. He’s changing the game. Some think he’s breaking it. Will the game shut him down? That risk is secondary for Frank. He’s got his own demons to worry about first.

An engaging story of a rookie breaking into the big leagues coupled with interesting ideas of how baseball adapts as human performance challenges the existing dimensions.

At last - an interesting and different First Read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 27, 2023

I've got increasingly disappointed by the run of Amazon Prime first reads recently. It was nice to get something a bit different. Although I live in the UK I'm a big baseball fan (Go Red Sox) so I was interested to read this. I thought some of the 'politics' about Frank's pitching being too hard for the good of the game somewhat unbelievable. Fans will always go the see great pitching and whilst hitting and runs are great the games purists appreciate the art of the pitcher.

Likewise some of the dramatic moments were a bit forced but overall and entertaining and interesting read.

Please can we have more choices like this rather than some of the predictable and dull crime thrillers that are usually offered?

Sadly, could not understand the content of this book. Perhaps not for people who don't understand baseball.

Unfortunately, as I'm not much of a baseball fan this book had limited appeal! It was a slow-paced read, and did little to encourage me to invest in the story. If you're interested in the nuance of the impact faster baseball pitchers have on the game, however, absolutely this will be a good read for you.

I was ambivalent before reading, but this book has made me really hate baseball. Resolving ‘the accident’ was the only good part of the story.

Interesting story around the struggles of a ground breaking pitcher with a past trauma. The unwritten rules of baseball are challenged in a thought provoking way.
