* ItOnlyWorksOnce: During the climactic at-bat vs. Heddo, Henry, [[spoiler: minus his superhuman velocity, is able to fool Heddo, who was expecting a 100-mph fastball and getting a softly-thrown pitch instead for strike one. Henry tries it again, but Heddo is ready for it and is only foiled by pulling it just foul.]]

Added DiffLines:

* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Despite his own job security and injury issues to worry about, Chet Steadman is tasked by his manager Sal to mentor and coach up Henry. Chet is less than enthused by this and points out Brickma is the pitching coach. Immediately, they overhear Brickma telling Henry about his post-pitching recovery method using "hot ice" ("I heat up the ice cubes!") and, seeing Sal's point, begrudgingly takes Henry under his wing.
