Synopsis

Miguel "Sugar" Santos, a 19-year-old from the Dominican Republic, shares the aspirations of many young men in his home country by dreaming of a career in American baseball. His skills as a pitcher earn him a position on a single-A team in Iowa, but he faces significant challenges, including culture shock, racism, and other obstacles that threaten to undermine his ambitions.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
