"Gene Ionescu, a gay trans man in his third year in the minors with the Beaverton Beavers, is a solid shortstop, but he's no one's idea of a major league prospect. He's just happy to be here, though, getting underpaid six months of the year to play the sport he's loved since childhood -- a game that favors underdogs and optimists... But his plans go awry when Luis Estrada - Gene's rival since their college days - gets traded to his team... and promptly takes Gene's position. After Gene's coach forces him over to second base, he and Luis can't manage a civil conversation off the field or a competent play on it... But when Gene finds Luis having a panic attack in their shared hotel room, he offers to start extra practices together... However, as they grow closer and the Beaverton Beavers gain playoff traction for the first time in over a decade, Gene's private dream of playing in the major leagues becomes a threat to his team's success - as well as his burgeoning relationship"--Provided by publisher.
