Virgil Sweet's (Edward James Olmos) life is baseball, and he is now a talent scout for the California Angels. When a business whiz, Gil Lawrence (Terry Kinney), buys the team, Virgil's job is in jeopardy unless he can prove his worth. His chance comes when he is stranded in a small town and sees Sammy (Jeff Corbett) pitch. Sammy is a sure thing, and Virgil takes him to L.A. for a tryout. Terry is so impressed that he starts an ad campaign concerning the new pitcher, promising that he will be baseball's new sensation. Now, Virgil is afraid that Sammy is not ready for the pressure. Both of their jobs may be on the line.
