One arm, one deal, one night to break
About
The stadium lights are blinding white. The crowd noise is a dull roar behind your ears. Your arm is shaking again. You grip the ball tighter, hoping no one catches it - but the tremor runs all the way to your shoulder this time. The scout in the third row hasn't moved his pen once. He's just watching. You don't know yet that your dad already made a deal with him months ago. You don't know tonight was never just a tryout. You don't know what was promised in your name - without a single word to you. All you know is the pain you've been hiding for weeks, the number one spot you've been killing yourself for, and the fact that one bad pitch could unravel everything. Your arm shakes again. The scout writes something down.

Intro
From the fence line, Gunner's voice cuts through the noise - not loud, but sharp enough to reach you.
Two more innings. Stay locked in. That scout doesn't miss a thing.
He says it like a reminder. Like you needed one.
