Mike Lupica's Comeback Kid

Mike Lupica's Comeback Kid has 175 pages. The main character is Nick. Nick is a catcher for the JV baseball team, but he gets promoted to the Varsity team. When he gets promoted, all of a sudden he can't make the throw to second base. Later in the story, he learns to control his throws.

Nick can't make the throw to second base. Nick was nervous when he got promoted to the Varsity team. It could have been that it was a longer throw. Nick was trying too hard to make the throw, and he was messing up. Nick practices with his coach (one-on-one) and he gets better.

Mike Lupica's Comeback Kid is a story about not giving up. I would strongly recommend this novel to anyone, especially if they really like sports.
