2.5/4

While it wavers with heavy-handed dialogue, underwritten supporting characters, and a storyline that veers away from its original grittiness, Manganiello keeps it grounded with a performance of sincerity and heart.

A rare, affecting baseball film, it's also an unapologetic, unhip redemption tale.
