Patel and Singh both arose to fame due to the reality show in India called Million Dollar Arm. In the reality show, contestants from around India competed to see who would win $100,000. The winner would also get the chance to come to the United States and try out in front of MLB scouts.

After that MLB tryout, many scouts were intrigued by the pair of Indian pitchers — who both have less than a year of baseball experience. Apparently, the Pittsburgh scouts were the most intrigued.

Although Patel and Singh signed contracts, they still have to be considered longshots to make it to the big leagues. They will both go to the minor leagues and will try to prove their worth to the organization. If they can keep improving and learn the game, they could eventually find themselves moving up the ranks.

By that time, hopefully Hollywood is ready with the movie.
