Baseball Dads

About This Audiobook

Meet Dwayne Devero, the most unhinged little league coach in recorded history. When life’s endless parade of idiots pushes him past his breaking point, Dwayne decides the best way to fix the world is to start with the people in his orbit—and he’s got a baseball bat to enforce his new curriculum. This isn’t a story about baseball; it’s a story about the quiet fury of a man who’s done pretending the rules apply to him anymore. Matthew S. Hiley crafts a deliciously twisted fable where every pop fly is a metaphor, every dugout conversation twists into menace, and the third strike is just the beginning.

The audiobook’s real star is narrator Josh Innerst, whose voice crackles with the kind of dry, exhausted charisma you’d expect from a guy who’s heard one too many excuses from entitled parents and ungrateful kids. Innerst nails the balance between deadpan humor and genuine menace, making Dwayne’s rants feel like a whispered confession over a beer—or a threat you wouldn’t want to ignore. The pacing is tight, the production crisp, and the humor lands like a well-placed fastball: unexpected, precise, and impossible to duck.
