Like many young men in the Dominican Republic, 19-year-old Miguel "Sugar" Santos dreams of winning a slot on an American baseball team. Indeed, his talents as a pitcher eventually land him a slot on a single-A team in Iowa, but culture shock, racism and other curveballs threaten to turn Sugar's dream sour.

lowkey i think calling it a specifically a sports movie or a movie about immigration takes away from the story as a whole but no matter what its just an enjoyable and interesting watch
