ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach centers around Henry Skrimshander, a gifted but unassuming young shortstop who arrives at Westish College. His exceptional defensive skills quickly gain attention, placing him under scrutiny and raising expectations for the college's baseball team. Amidst the backdrop of collegiate athletics and the unique atmosphere of Westish, with its deep connection to the legacy of Herman Melville, Henry navigates the challenges of competition, personal growth, and the pressures of talent. The influence of a revered baseball novel, The Art of Fielding, guides his approach to the game and to life. The narrative explores themes of ambition, identity, and the pursuit of excellence within the close-knit world of a small liberal arts college.
