FULL COUNT

FULL COUNT
By R.B. Ripley

GENRE: Sports Drama, Comedy
LOGLINE:

When an over-the-hill pro baseball pitcher rediscovers his mojo after unexpectedly falling for the team’s new hotshot catcher, he must finally face his own buried truths in order to help his perennial losing team learn how to win again.

SYNOPSIS:

Full Count is the story of a Scotty MacKay, a washed-up, forty-year-old major league baseball legend who discovers that his comeback depends not just on learning a new pitch, but on confronting decades of emotional avoidance and fear of genuine connection.

When an injury forces him to work with a young, earnest catcher—who happens to be the league’s next superstar— their unlikely partnership becomes the catalyst for him to finally examine his failing relationship, his unresolved feelings about a teammate's suicide, and his lifelong terror of vulnerability.

Set against the backdrop of a historically losing team's miraculous season, this is a comeback story about how true strength isn't found in protecting yourself from pain, but in risking everything—your heart, your pride, your carefully constructed walls—for the chance at something real.
