Story 1: Lost Bat, Lost Confidence
What if the secret to success wasn't in the bat-but in the player?
Oliver is ready to crush his first over-the-fence home run. Armed with this season's hottest bat, the X-5, nothing can stop him-until everything falls apart. Just before the first game of the season, his prized bat vanishes. And with it, his confidence.
Now, facing the toughest pitcher in the league with only a battered old bat, Oliver feels doomed. But then, a legendary coach shares a game-changing secret: Success isn't about the bat-it's about the player.
With the game on the line and his teammates counting on him, Oliver must decide: let doubt strike him out, or believe in himself and take the biggest swing of his life.
