The Scout

Albert Brooks plays Al Percolo, a humiliated talent scout sent to rural Mexico after his star recruit botches a Major League Baseball debut. He finds Steve Nebraska, a young American pitcher with a perfect batting average and an alarming lack of mental stability. The New York Yankees offer the young phenom a $55 million contract, but a psychiatrist must first confirm Nebraska's mental fitness. As Al navigates life with Steve, he faces challenges that test his patience, creativity, and dedication to uncovering the true potential in this troubled pitcher.
