The Silent Natural tells the story of William Hoy, who at the age of 24, grabs his spikes and boards a train headed for the Minor League team in Oshkosh. His professional baseball career has begun. Despite his diminutive size (5’4″, 148 pounds) and him being deaf, William Hoy demonstrates explosive speed and a powerful arm.
Unable to hear calls of the umpire, Hoy communicates with his third-base coach who relates the calls by signing. After two years in the Minor Leagues, Hoy signs with the Washington Senators in 1888 and leads the National League with 82 stolen bases in his rookie year. Hoy becomes the First Deaf Major League Baseball Star.
This biographical movie is both written and directed by American filmmaker David Risotto, in his feature directorial debut.
