comment
Career-Ending Injury: Narrowly averted. As Capello describes in a letter to Vivy, he suffered from a shoulder labrum tear while he was in the lower leagues, ruining his fastball. Instead he took up the knuckleball, allowing him to have a real baseball career.

Narrative Profanity Filter: Vivy's older brother Nate tells her, "I have my own life and it's kind of important. Not that anyone around here gives a flying Triceratops about that." Vivy adds that he didn't really say "Triceratops," but she changed it because she doesn't want to use a bad word.

Gayngst: Nate is gay, and has a boyfriend he sneaks out to meet. Nate asks Vivy not to tell their parents, because he's seen their mom treating Vivy like a fragile little kid, and he's afraid she'll do the same with him.

comment
Performance Anxiety: Vivy has mastered her knuckleball playing with Nate, but she does really badly the first time she practices with the Flying Squirrels, then keeps messing up during her first real game. VJ has a similar problem - his performance has been underwhelming since he botched a throw in last year's World Series.

Like Father, Unlike Son: Coach K is friendly and supportive, but his son Kyle is The Bully who calls Vivy "monkey-girl." Vivy thinks it's like how her mom is outgoing and talkative, while she isn't at all.

Eyes Always Averted: Vivy hates making eye contact, which not only is incredibly uncomfortable but also makes it even harder to find the right words. She looks at people's noses if possible.

Eating Lunch Alone: Vivy used to eat lunch in the hallway until the teacher said she wasn't allowed, so she started eating at a table with a few other kids who never talked. After she joins the Flying Squirrels, she starts sitting with the catcher Alex Carrillo.
