For Hutch, shortstop has always been home. It's where his
father once played professionally, before injuries relegated
him to watching games on TV instead of playing them. And
it's where Hutch himself has always played and starred.
Until now. The arrival of Darryl "D-Will" Williams, the top
shortstop prospect from Florida since A-Rod, means Hutch is
displaced, in more ways than one. Second base feels like
second fiddle, and when he sees his father giving fielding
tips to D-Will--the same father who can't be bothered to
show up to watch his son play--Hutch feels betrayed. With
the summer league championship on the line, just how far is
Hutch willing to bend to be a good teammate?
