During tryouts for the Hoboken Zephyrs, the desperate team meets a left-handed pitcher named Casey. He has the strongest arm ever seen and pitches with unbelievable precision. The only problem is - Casey is a robot.
The coach - played by Jack Warden, who I can hardly remember as anything else than a baseball coach - and the man who built Casey decide to keep this little bit of information to themselves.
Alas, it had to come out eventually. When Casey gets hit in the head by a ball, the following check-up reveals that he is not human. A baseball official is called in and it is agreed that he would be allowed to continue playing if he is equipped with a beating heart.
When he returns to play he doesn't have the heart (Ha!) to strike out any of the opponents. He goes off to do charitable work.
