Although originally slated for midseason, Fox have instead decided to bring forward their buzzy new baseball drama to a fall release, a sign of confidence in it being a home run.

The series is set within the confines of Major League Baseball, and focuses on Ginny (played by Kylie Bunbury), a young pitcher with the San Diego Padres who gets called up to make history, becoming the first female to play in the MLB.

Created by Dan Fogelman (writer of Tangled and Crazy, Stupid, Love) - which is reason enough to be interested - it also stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, and is officially associated with the MLB, meaning it's had unparalleled access to ensure accuracy, and early word on it is very positive.

Air Date: September 22.
