  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Josh feels like he's starting to make it big! Jaden, the school reporter, says he's going to take the baseball team to number one. Then his dad pulls him off the field and signs him up with Coach Rocky Valentine's youth championship team, the Titans. He says Josh has what it takes to be a baseball great&#8212;and the Titans will help him get there. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Now Josh is gulping down Rocky's &quot;Super Stax&quot; milkshakes to build muscle and trying to fit in with his new teammates&#8212;older, tougher kids who can suddenly become violent. All Josh really wants to do is play ball, but as he gets in deeper with the Titans, there are questions he's just got to ask. As Josh and his new friend Jaden investigate their suspicions, they find themselves in a dangerous struggle with a desperate man who doesn't want them to expose the nasty secrets they uncover. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Pulsing with action, baseball great offers a baseball story attuned to today's headlines, a totally involving, character-driven, sports-centered thriller. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>
