Facing Nolan (2022) maintains its integrity and consistently delivers the life and career of Nolan Ryan in a way that keeps even the non-baseball fans intrigued.
This documentary says it take a slight curve of the typical biographical documentary, but its still pretty similar. But as its description implies, Nolan Ryan's life and career is told from the perspective of the "batters" he faced in his life whether they be family setting him up for a challenge, coaches and executives questioning his ability to pitch , or actual baseball players he had gallantly opposed while on the mound. Ryan could not have had his career without these challengers constantly pushing him to improve and compete against his competition.
This is a pretty solid documentary. I liked the narrative , the many interviews (like the many batters he pitched against), and the use and explanation of the numbers fans and enemies use to describe is Hall of Fame career. My only complaint is that it while it remained truthful, this movie could be a little too sentimental making it stray from main narrative. But it always came back eventually.
Give it a watch. Even if you don't like baseball, you will be astonished by Nolan Ryan's career and legacy.
