Fielding Dreams: A Celebration of Baseball Scouts documents up close the men and women searching for the ballplayers of tomorrow. Director H. James Gilmore goes beyond the "Moneyball mindset" and features dozens of interviews with some of the scouting legends of the game, including five who helped build the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers. Traveling from Michigan to Florida, Illinois to Texas, and Georgia to Puerto Rico, Gilmore and producer Tracy Halcomb interview scouts over a four-year period against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Narrated by former MLB pitcher Jerry Blevins.
