“A longtime baseball fan, I remember watching the Hollinger Miners dominate a gold-mining industrial league in 1948,” writes Stock. “Since then, I have always wondered why there are switch hitters in Major League Baseball, but no switch pitchers?
“When I forced my lazy brain to figure out why, the only answer I could come up with was that all things considered, it’s too difficult to develop the musculature on both the right and left side of the pitcher’s body, to meet the onerous physical demands of a winning pitcher. Obviously, if it was easy or uncomplicated, it would have been done by now.
“But then I started thinking—actually, it was more imagining—what if there was an unusual family situation where two young parents, with college-athletic backgrounds, decided they were going to raise their son to one day be a totally competent ambidextrous pitcher?
“… That’s how the idea for an awesome new baseball novel got started. Let’s play ball.”
