Wild Pitch is a gripping memoir that shows how one man faced his past, battled addiction, and found the courage to change his life.
Jeff Grose and Richard Strack are proud to introduce Wild Pitch, a gripping new memoir that tells the true story of one man’s journey through pain, addiction, and ultimately, healing. Honest and emotional, this memoir pulls readers into the life of Jeff Grose, a former professional baseball player whose story shows that even when life throws a wild pitch, there’s always a chance to swing again.
In Wild Pitch, readers meet Jeff as a child growing up in a troubled home shaped by alcoholism, violence, and fear. His father’s abuse left deep scars that followed him through his teen years and into adulthood. Despite the chaos at home, Jeff found purpose and power on the baseball field. His natural talent led him into the world of professional sports, but his inner pain never left. As his career grew, so did his struggle with addiction—the very thing he hated most about his father.
This memoir gives a raw and truthful look into Jeff’s life after baseball: broken relationships, addiction, lost jobs, and an ongoing search for meaning. He had to face the person he had become and make the hardest choice of all—change. But what makes Wild Pitch special is not just the darkness—it’s the light. This story is also about recovery, growth, and finding peace. Jeff’s story offers real hope for anyone who grew up in a dysfunctional family or who is battling their own demons. Like in baseball, in life you either win or you learn. And Jeff learned that healing was never far away—it was always within reach.
Written from a first-person point of view, Wild Pitch speaks directly to readers with a voice that is both vulnerable and strong. This autobiographical memoir is meant for adult and young adult readers, especially those who have faced addiction, trauma, or personal loss. It’s a memoir that doesn’t hold back—and it doesn’t give up.
