Synopsis
The Scout (1994) is a baseball comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Michael Ritchie. Al Percolo hunts for talent the big leagues haven't noticed yet. When his latest prospect freezes during a Major League debut, the front office ships him off to small-town Mexico as punishment.
Out there he finds Steve Nebraska, a kid who pitches and hits like nothing Percolo has ever clocked. The Yankees slap a $55 million deal on the table — on one condition. A psychiatrist has to certify that Nebraska is mentally fit. That turns out to be the hard part. Albert Brooks plays the desperate scout, a young Brendan Fraser the wild phenom, with Dianne Wiest as the doctor caught in the middle.
This one stays small and human: a story about greed, second chances, and a player who seems too good to be real. Best for fans of low-key 1990s comedies that don't try to be more than they are. Stream The Scout (1994) online on iFILM.
