Chris Pancake loves the Lord and loves baseball. He is the best high school pitcher in his district, perhaps even in the state. A major league scout pursues him and informs him that the Pirates intend to draft him second overall, but Chris has other plans. Then, he accomplishes a feat that has rarely been seen before from a high school pitcher. Still coping with the loss of his mother, he has a near perfect relationship with his father, Charles. Conversely, his faith and his relationships with his best friends are put to the test. On the cusp of turning 30 years old, Chris looks back and reflects on two tragic events that shaped his character as an adult. Pancake is a tale of faith and forgiveness, tragedy and triumph, and lives transformed. Throughout his young life, Chris retains an unwavering commitment to his faith despite societal pressures and personal struggles that threaten to pull him away. His is an amazing journey of sports, family, and the love of God.
