Easy to read. Produced by Justin Gillbank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Young Pitcher" by Zane Grey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Ken Ward, a freshman at a large university, struggling to find his identity amid the challenges and social hierarchies of college life, particularly in the realm of athletics. The book presents themes of perseverance, self-discovery, and the intense atmosphere of college sports. At the start of the narrative, Ken faces a tumultuous initiation into university life, feeling insignificant and lost among his peers. His experience is marked by humiliation from upperclassmen and a fierce desire to prove himself, particularly in baseball, where he harbors ambitions of making the varsity team. As he grapples with loneliness and bullying, a chaotic incident results in him being chosen as the "bowl-man" for the freshmen, an honor that carries both weight and expectations. This opening section sets the stage for Ken's journey of growth, resilience, and the challenges he must overcome to earn respect and find his place on the baseball team.
