Generally…
“Dead Fish Films and Parlay Pictures are in pre-production on the true story baseball themed independent feature film Undrafted starring Chace Crawford…Undrafted is based on a true story and centers on a very special day in the life of a promising young baseball player named John “Maz” Mazetti. After he discovers that he was not drafted, Maz has an epiphany one day that changes his life forever. He finds himself playing in a casual intramural summer league baseball game with a group of wacky teammates who feel strongly that Maz has the making of a great ball player. Throughout the day, Maz becomes increasingly sullen and negative especially when he fails to get a hit. Suddenly Maz has a revelation and he finds his purpose. It’s the final inning and Maz is back in the game.” (x)
"The independent film Undrafted, starring Joe Mazzello, Tyler Hoechlin, and Chace Crawford, is filming at Dunsmore Park in La Crescenta, California for the next 4 weeks.” (x)

A clear awareness of right and wrong. We meet him at a very interesting crossroads in his life, which colors his personality. He is conflicted. Angry.
