Amy Adams 'finds' ace pitcher outside seedy motel?

In the final throes of the movie - about to end without any cohesion - Amy Adams "hears" a curve ball being rocketed by an unknown pitcher who just happens to be throwing rockets to some kid outside of a seedy motel in the middle of North Carolina. She calls the old scout to ensure an audience at Braves field. He will pitch to the new STAR pick by the guy who pushed Amy Adams' father's opinion - Clint Easteood - out. Of course, the unknown Ace tosses a dozen pitches and the STAR can't hit one, proving Easteood correct. So 95% of the movie goes by, and this final 15 minutes wraps it up. It's the definition of INCREDULOUS.
