(4) 4-6 With Paul Mantell. Despite pedestrian writing and overt moralizing, Jeter's third middle-grade baseball novel starring his younger self (The Contract; Hit & Miss) will be welcomed by baseball lovers. There's rudimentary coaching here, from the difference in hand positions between pitching fast balls and change-ups to tips about fielding and base running; but there's also plenty of action, and sportsmanship, teamwork, and focus are appropriately lauded.
