Meet Carlos, the Baseball Star!

From School to the Big Leagues!

They chose him very early, like picking the first kid in line for the best toy! He started playing in the big professional games in 2015. That's when everyone got to see his amazing pitching skills.

A Game Where No One Gets a Hit!

It means Carlos was in control of the game the whole time. Imagine trying to catch a ball that's thrown super fast, and then imagine trying to hit it when someone is throwing it perfectly every time. It's like winning a game of tag where no one can ever tag you!
