No woke, but kind of bland.

The dad was depicted as an overly-authoritative, bible-thumper. The wife, mother-in-law, and even his children showed him the error of his ways. I suppose you could give it a slight nudge on the woke-meter for that.
The story of Rickey Hill is interesting. He really was that good. If it wasn't for the illness, his rookie baseball card would be a keeper, and he'd be HOF.
It's true that he went 11 for 11 in his tryout. That's a 1,000 batting average. They missed the part where he climbed a fence to sneak into the scouting tryouts. They got a few other things right. He did marry his high-school sweetheart at home plate before a game. He also retired at age 22 because of the illness. He also never played in the Majors. Four seasons playing for Montreal's minor league teams was an accomplishment for someone with a spinal disease. I think the movie would've been better if it was closer to the real history. He was an example of persistence and dedication to succeeding.
