Ted Bell has a lot to learn from the drastic change, but he has someone there to help him, a veteran teammate. Cal a long-time pitcher has worked his way around the game, he will help Ted along the way. From Hotel to ballpark, back to the hotel, is the new life he would be living. Going straight from high school to a professional team is a big jump and Ted will find out along the way how different the sport really is. He finds out that there is already a player in his spot and sits on the bench. You will have to find out how he earns a starting spot. I liked that the book is about my favorite sport, baseball. I didn’t like how fast-paced the book was because it would jump from game to game or skip some parts. The theme of the book is Ted expects to be the best and get the starting spot right away, but he doesn’t.
He will have to prove himself to the manager and since he is young he hasn’t earned the trust of the manager, therefore Ted is doubted. There is some foreshadowing in this book, like when he is interviewed and he said the wrong things, after that the players were ashamed and mad at him. I recommend this novel, The Rookie Arrives because it is a good baseball with some drama and is an easy read, but it is a faster-paced book that skips some details that would’ve been good, so after reading this book I think that nothing is just given to you, everything must be earned, and a lesson can be learned from this book if you read it.… (mais)
