Out on the Field - Stories

The Last Out is the story of seventeen year old Devin Williams, an athlete whose deepest secret threatens to shatter the life he’s created for himself. Devin is what everyone expects of him in small town Washington; he’s an athlete, he gets good grades and he helps out around the house with his father. When a run-in with the school baseball team’s catcher goes terribly wrong and sets into motion a series of events, Devin must decide how to face his fears and biases.

Devin has graduated and made it to the school of his dreams. As he grows more comfortable with himself, he has to learn what it means to be in a long-distance relationship and to finally be on his own. With new friends and rivals, how will Devin navigate what it means to be a gay athlete, or will he give up his sports career to protect himself from homophobic abuse?

Devin Williams is back for his second year of college. He has a boyfriend, a spot on the baseball team, and a father who loves him. When pain from his past threatens to ruin everything he's built for himself, what will Devin do to protect the ones he loves?

A continuation of the Out on the Field series, reading the other two stories is not completely necessary, though it will provide a significant amount of background knowledge.
