Chapter 3: Spring Training
It was February, almost time for spring training. The MLB was readying up. The manager told KJ what to do, how to train, and what the Royals' goal was. KJ was excited. He couldn't wait. So on his first week, he trained his knuckleball. It was part of his elusive breaking ball resume(which only has 3 pitches
). The next week, KJ met a guy named Oakley. ''Why you got such a puzzled look on your face?'' He asked. '' Man, you don't know who I am? Well, you could at least keep tabs on the players who joined this franchise the same time as you.'' After a long talk with Oakley, they made a bet to see who gets to the major leagues first. The one who did won the bet. Two weeks into Spring training, KJ was pitching great. Mia interviewed him once because he got the win as a reliever. He even took her to lunch after that. And at the end of Spring Training, KJ proved that he was good enough to be in the MLB.
