Rookie of the Year
- Family
- Comedy
12-year-old Henry Rowengartner, whose late father was a minor league baseball player, grew up dreaming of playing baseball, despite his physical shortcomings. After Henry's arm is broken while trying to catch a baseball at school, the tendon in that arm heals too tightly, allowing Henry to throw pitches that are as fast as 103 mph. Henry is spotted at nearby Wrigley Field by Larry "Fish" Fisher, the general manager of the struggling Chicago Cubs, after Henry throws an opponent's home-run ball all the way from the outfield bleachers back to the catcher, and it seems that Henry may be the pitcher that team owner Bob Carson has been praying for.
Rookie of the Year is a 1993 family comedy about a 12-year-old baseball fan whose broken arm heals with an unexpected gift: the ability to throw 103 mph fastballs. Spotted by the Chicago Cubs' general manager, Henry Rowengartner gets his shot at the majors and must prove he has what it takes on and off the field.
