In “Benched,” veteran little league baseball coach Don is faced with a new challenge when he’s paired with Michael, a well-meaning but inexperienced assistant coach. While Don has always been laser-focused on winning at any cost, Michael believes that the true spirit of the game lies in having fun and fostering teamwork.

Their conflicting philosophies lead to a season filled with ups and downs, from laughable errors and strikeouts to heartfelt moments of triumph. As the tension mounts, both coaches realize they have something valuable to learn from each other. This forces them to set aside their differences, eventually leading their young and disorganized team toward an unexpected shot at victory.
