College baseball star Henry Skrimshander seems destined for the big leagues. But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, Henry's life and the lives of four people around him are fatefully upended.
As the season counts down to its climactic final game, all five are forced to confront their deepest hopes, anxieties, and secrets. The Art of Fielding is a tender, expansive novel about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and love, about commitment - to oneself and to others.
