I was certain I’d make it into the Baseball Hall of Fame someday. Never mind my family’s disapproval of using my special advantage on the field. Sponsorships, professional leagues…just four years of high school, and it was all gonna be mine.

Until a backyard baseball game led my younger brother Eli and I to discover a teleporter that takes us to another planet. And we immediately lost the teleporter in an embarrassing, humbling way.

Good news is, there’s a clear way to get the teleporter back: win a baseball tournament. Specifically, the Calamity Competition. Easy enough, right? Except the whole planet of Rethara (including my new teammates and worst roommate ever) hates my brother and I for being related to “prize-stealing, petty losers” (ouch), lava-wrapped pitches bring a whole new meaning to the term heater, and turns out, I’m not half the player I thought I was.

And when Eli discovers our family history isn’t as simple as it seems, he puts us in way more danger than I ever expected out of my baseball career, and winning the tournament may not solve our problems after all.

Because on Rethara–baseball is not just a game
