Beau Baxter made the team. Nobody warned him that was the easy part.

Over 6,000 copies sold.

Dugout Diaries puts readers in the dugout for every practice, every game, and every moment that shapes a real baseball season.

He's ten years old, the new shortstop for the Forest Glen Flyers, and Opening Day is coming faster than his nerves can handle. The harder he tries to stay calm, the louder his jitters seem to get.

Brutal practices. Lineup pressure. Dugout politics. Endless chatter. At ten, Beau's brain is moving almost as fast as the game, and all of it is pointed at one dream: the Summit Series.

So he does what serious ballplayers do. He studies everything. The plays. The mistakes. The moments nobody else notices. Then he writes it all down.

Baseball doesn't reward perfection. It rewards resilience. Coach Darla says it like it's obvious. Beau is still working on believing her.

If there's still infield dirt in your car, this is the series they'll read.

For readers ages 9 to 12 (grades 4 to 6) who love baseball, competition, friendship, and stories that make readers feel like part of the team.

Includes a team vocabulary list and Dominion League scoreboard.
