Playing on Higher Ground Ray Santiago III

High school senior Jacoby Johnson was weeks from signing a professional baseball contract worth millions when he injured his elbow, jeopardizing his future. Now, sixteen months after recovering from Tommy John surgery, Jacoby returns to the mound at the college level determined to prove his name deserves to be called in the early rounds of the Major League Baseball Draft come June. As Fall Ball gets underway, Jacoby's pitching quickly receives praise from his coaches and area scouts. But when he finds out why his parents divorced, an emotional tailspin drags him into the college party scene where one bad decision after another compromises his draft stock. Will a favor from an old mentor, encouragement from a new love interest, and a renewed relationship with God be enough to turn Jacoby's baseball career around before the draft?
