Zephyr Wood and the Phantom Pitch

​

The Story: As summer settles over Maplemont, Zephyr faces a challenge unlike any before. During practice, he begins missing pitches he swears he can see—mystery balls that seem to vanish midair. Haunted by self-doubt, Zephyr turns inward, wondering if he’s lost his touch or his courage. With help from an old coach and a few loyal teammates, he learns that the hardest opponent to face is often the one within—and that believing in yourself is the first step to finding your strength again.

The Heart of the Story: True courage isn’t about never missing—it’s about standing tall, trusting your heart, and daring to swing again.
