When the nation's top baseball prospects receive invitations to Slater Smith's prestigious Pre-Draft Combine, they face intense competition and high stakes. To make it to pro ball, they must navigate fierce rivalries, form strategic alliances, and deal with plenty of big-league drama.

Writer/director Candice Cain has made it clear from the get-go: this project will be different. Baseball TV shows, historically, don't last-- Cain argues this is because they fail to prioritize authenticity.

HEAVY HITTERS tackles this issue head-on by making a deep commitment to the game the cornerstone of its production. The rigorous casting process, which ensures every actor—from background players to leads—has real baseball experience, is an allegory for the show's overall dedication to capturing the spirit of baseball.

For much of the world, baseball is a familial sport. Whether it's a father figure, a memorable coach, or a favorite catch partner, this sport is unique in its ability to bring people together and create lasting bonds.

HEAVY HITTERS seeks to capture these deep connections on-screen. By staying true to the sport and leveraging baseball’s natural storytelling to highlight relationships, it aims to resonate personally with baseball fans worldwide.
