In this semi-autobiographical LGBTQ+ graphic novel, a nerdy gay teenager dives headfirst into the bro-y world of high school baseball. Ninth-grader Jonah is not a jock. Quite the opposite, he loves history class and nerdy movies, and his athletic ineptitude borders on tragic. So, what's he doing signing up for the baseball team? Could it have something to do with the cute shortstop, Elliot?

For the rest of high school, Jonah faces challenges on and off the baseball field, from heteronormative social pressure to thrilling romance. Realizing who his real friends are, he figures out what truly matters and finally recognizes and embraces his gay identity.

Based on debut author-illustrator Jonah Newman's coming-of-age experiences, Out of Left Field is a heartfelt and funny YA graphic novel about learning to be yourself.
