Anticipation (Before Trailer): 50/100
Anticipation (After Trailer): 55/100
As a baseball fan, this trailer lost me a little bit when the announcer said the rookie threw five wild pitches in one inning. Two or three would have been enough to get the point home and actually be realistic. Heck, even three is unrealistic.
Ethan Hawke as the domineering, emotionally abusive father of the young rookie pitcher has the potential to be a memorable character.
