Play Ball 2: The Machine

Book 2 of 8 in Play Ball

Book 2 of "Play Ball." Weston has never struck out in his life. The Desert Rattlers' pitching machine does not know that, and it does not care. In his first season of machine pitch, under a new coach who is not Dad, Weston meets the one opponent talent alone can't beat, with a crosstown rematch against Santi Vega waiting at the end of the schedule.

What you'll discover

As you move through the story and make choices, your DISC personality profile takes shape across four traits:

  • The Challenger

    You meet every wall by walking at it. Failure doesn't scare you off; it points you at exactly what to attack next, and your teammates borrow courage just from watching you step in first.

  • The Spark Plug

    You turn hard days into shared stories. When everyone is failing at the same thing, you're the one who makes it feel like the team versus the problem, and suddenly nobody is failing alone.

  • The Rock

    You show up the same on the best day and the worst day. Your routines, your patience, and your quiet loyalty become the rhythm a whole team learns to trust.

  • The Swing Builder

    You take big problems apart into small pieces and fix them one at a time. You'd rather understand a challenge than rush it, and what you build carefully tends to last.
