Quit Your Pitchin'
by Lani Lynn Vale
2018
Baseball pressure doesn’t stop when the game ends. When a player’s life starts to unravel, the woman who calls him on his nonsense becomes the one person who can steady him.
Listen, Pitch
by Lani Lynn Vale
2018
He can handle a crowd, he can’t handle her honesty. As their attraction grows, they have to navigate career stress, public attention, and the simple fact that feelings don’t follow a schedule.
Pitch Please
by Lani Lynn Vale
2017
Baseball is supposed to be simple, throw, hit, win, repeat. When a player’s life off the field gets complicated, the woman who sees the real him becomes both his distraction and his anchor.
Series background & context
There’s No Crying in Baseball is Vale’s baseball romance series, built around athletes, competition, and the messy reality behind the highlight reel.
The game is the backdrop, the relationship is the point.
The books, including Pitch Please, Quit Your Pitchin', and Listen, Pitch, each follow a different couple while keeping a shared sports world around them. You’ll see career pressure, locker-room energy, and the strain of public attention.
The tone stays light and flirty, but it doesn’t ignore the stakes of a career that can change overnight. Romance grows in the middle of practice schedules, travel, and the fear of messing up the one good thing you’ve got.
Read in order if you like catching recurring characters and team dynamics as they evolve.
