Part three of High Heat starts off with the summer before Shane’s senior year of High School. Shane’s mother asks him what he is going to do in order to stay busy and out of trouble. Shane says that he will find a job or something; his mom said she could have hooked him up with a job at her place of employment if he really needed it. Instead, during their conversation, Coach Grandison called and offered Shane a job as a referee for some pick up basketball games at the local youth center. Shane, of course said yes since he did not want to work with his mom, or in a restaurant. When Shane gets to work, he notices that Grandison had also call other members of the Whitman baseball team to help referee the games. On Shane’s days off, he would go over to a local park that also had a baseball field, and play pick up games with local baseball players. One of the guys that like to show up was Reese Robertson, the one that he hit in the face during a game in the spring. After the first few days, Reese and Shane caught each other’s eyes and began to have a conversation. During their conversation, Shane had found out the Reese had not batted like he did before getting hit, and Shane made it his job to get Reese back to where he used to be, since it was Shane’s fault for him doing worse, or so he thought. To help Reese get back into form, Shane decide he would begin to throw his fastball slightly harder each time he would face Reese, until he thought Reese would be ready for his fastest fastball, which was clocked at around 91 miles per hour. This is all I will say about the book, not wanting to ruin the rest for you guys.
