Some gifts come with a price. Twenty years before, high school coach Gil Gilbert gave
up his dream to play professional baseball so he could
marry his pregnant girlfriend, Keri. When he miraculously
discovers that he can pitch with deadly accuracy and
speed, he must choose between his successful career and
comfortable family life or his chance to play with the
Colorado Rockies during a player’s strike. Gil stuns the
pitching staff with 100 mph fastballs and is offered a
contract. After joining the Rockies, the world soon learns that Gil
is a supernatural phenomenon and the Rockies keep
winning. But Gil soon faces stiff opposition, including a
frivolous lawsuit, a father who feels his son’s calling
to pitch is to save souls, and threats from the striking
players. As the season progresses, Gil discovers that his
unexpected gift is the result of a rare disease, and
continuing to pitch may hasten his own death. While Keri
supports his decision to keep playing, she is fearful
about her husband’s bizarre health condition. Gil must decide what price he is willing to pay to live
his dream.
