Off Season

She’s a therapist helping a struggling pitcher get out of his brain and into his body. The curveball she doesn’t see coming is the impact he has on her head and heart.

When Valley Magnolia accepts a sports psychologist role with the San Francisco Seals, she knows it will mean contending with both her father’s legacy and her own grief: He was the baseball team’s pitching coach for decades, and even after his death, he looms large in the stadium. But it’s pitcher Cal Monte who catches Valley off-guard. As she treats the yips that have derailed his career, the two grow closer in a way that threatens to upend both of their lives.
