When 12 ragtag teammates set out to play what should be a meaningless summer intramural baseball game, it ends up becoming the most important game of their lives. This collection of characters - the reliever turned starting pitcher (Tyler Hoechlin), a hot-dog power hitter (Chace Crawford), an outfielder with anger management issues (Joe Mazzello), a player coach with clipboard envy (Duke Davis Roberts), an over-eager catcher (Ryan Pinkston), the old guy who shouldnt be playing anymore (Philip Winchester), and the guy everyone forgot was on the team (Matt Bush) - truly gives new meaning to the phrase "amateur status." As they struggle to transition away from baseball and towards an uncertain future, the best player among them (Aaron Tveit) - who they all felt should have gotten drafted - has to deal with the news that his big league dreams were dashed, leaving him grappling with why he should still play. One game can be just another box score, but when its played by a team galvanized around the love of the game, and for the pride they have in each other, it can define a lifetime. Written and directed by Joe Mazzello ("Jurassic Park," HBOs "The Pacific," "The Social Network"), UNDRAFTED is based on the real life experiences of Joes brother, a collegiate baseball star who was skipped over in the Major League Baseball draft.
One week after the end of the regular season in what is ostensibly a Southern California baseball beer league (or ice cream league as the case may be), the D-Backs are entering into the first game of the post-season against the Bulldogs, who they should have no trouble beating. The D-Backs are comprised of a loosely defined group of friends who individually have a wide variation of skill, talent and commitment (or lack thereof), both to the game and to the team. Each team member is facing his own demon in terms of the game of baseball and his place on the team. Upon arriving at the field, they find that under the league rules unknown to them, the Bulldogs have stacked their team with a bunch of ringers who were nowhere to be seen within the league at the end of the regular season. In addition, the Bulldogs have devised a method to get under the skin of the D-Backs, especially those who are already having troubles fighting their demons. Hanging over the D-Backs this day is the fact that the highly anticipated drafting into the MLB of who is their best player, Maz, did not happen, the draft just having happened before Maz arrives at the field. This combination of items has the potential to be an explosive mix, leading to what should have been a meaningless game in the big scheme of their lives into a need to prove themselves as individuals and as a team.
