Supporting performances of note come from Jacob Yeh— playing team pitcher Takeshi Kawabata— and Devyn Tinker, who plays as Davey Battle, the man on the other team. Both Yeh and Tinker are featured sparingly but in the moments when their characters are present there is a resounding echo of unspoken truths radiating out from within them. This is particularly true of Yeh as his character speaks no English and he spends most of the play in silence, or cursing in another language. The brilliance of his performance is the little bursts of comic moments caused by the language barrier juxtaposed against his final monologue, which is truly striking.
