While the book doesn’t come out until January 31, it tells a story of a young pitcher who manages his anxiety through breathing and other means.
It’s a story which follows the struggles the young Stroman fights throughout the book.
While people tell him he can’t make it to the big leagues, the young Stroman sets out to prove his doubters wrong.
However, despite some of the negative things which happen to him, it is a proud moment for the Cubs star pitcher.
For him, it’s a way to tell a meaningful story from his perspective with overcoming anxiety.
With the book geared towards middle grade school children, it’s reaching a core audience who might need help.
Mental health is important for Stroman, and his message of hope is important to tell others as well.
However, he’s never been silent over these issues, and the book puts these issues in a spotlight.
With his excitement comes a ray of hope for any young child who might desire to become an MLB player.
To them, this book can become the inspiration they need to make the big leagues, just like Stroman.
