12-year-old Henry Rowengartner, whose late father was a minor league baseball player, grew up dreaming of playing baseball, despite his physical shortcomings. After Henry's arm is broken while trying to catch a baseball at school, the tendon in that arm heals too tightly, allowing Henry to throw pitches that are as fast as 103 mph. Henry is spotted at nearby Wrigley Field by Larry "Fish" Fisher, the general manager of the struggling Chicago Cubs, after Henry throws an opponent's home-run ball all the way from the outfield bleachers back to the catcher, and it seems that Henry may be the pitcher that team owner Bob Carson has been praying for.

This isn't what you'd call a "good" movie but it serves up some 90's nostalgia that is hard _not_ to enjoy. Decent, family-friendly sports movie.

I always forget that this movie still holds up despite being blatantly made for kids. One thing it does well is nail what life is like for a 12-year-old boy, especially what that level of fame would do to your regular childhood friendships. It also shows some clever baseball tactics that wouldn't work in an MLB game these days, but when it's a 12-year-old kid calling the shots, it's anyone's ~~game~~ guess. I also always forget how good Bruce Altman is as playing an over-the-top arch bad guy; he nailed his Mr. Robot character 12 years earlier with this movie.

One of the better family sports movies. Probably not quite as good as the Sandlot or Field of Dreams but a good fun watch regardless. Don't pay attention to the low ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, it's often wrong for children's movies and is entirely wrong here.
