Danny Connolly is a back-up pitcher with the Dulaney Orioles. He knows that back-up means not good enough to start. When he has gotten a chance to pitch he hasn't exactly been the shut-down reliever the team needs.To make matters worse he's playing in the shadow of his older brother Joey a lights-out high school lefty with a 90-mph fastball who's attracting lots of attention from college recruiters and major league scouts.It's bad enough that Danny's parents fawn over Joey and rarely talk about Danny's games. But now as his big brother's mound exploits are drawing more and more attention Danny is starting to get the why-aren't-you-as-good-as-Joey? comments from the Orioles too.The pressure to live up to Joey's success is stifling. Lonely and frustrated Danny embarks on a secret project designed to make his family and teammates sit up and take notice. Aided by a mysterious stranger with an uncanny knowledge of the aerodynamics of a thrown baseball he attempts to learn a pitch no one has seen before.The clock is ticking as the O's try to repeat as league champions. If Danny's audacious plan works and he can master the magical fluttering pitch known as The Terminator he'll soon be the talk of the league--and the dependable closer the Orioles desperately need.
