Mo’Ne Davis Film Headed To Disney Channel

Little League pitching smash Mo’ne Davis is adding another milestone to her collection of memorable acts that have occurred since Davis became the first girl to pitch a shut up during the Little League World Series last summer.

Earlier this week, Davis announced that she was releasing a sneaker line for underprivileged girls. Next up for Davis, her very own Disney Channel movie.

The network is developing a biographical film, titled ”Throw Like Mo,” that will tell the story of the 13-year-old who was brought to the world’s attention while playing as a member of Philadelphia’s Taney Dragons. Since last summer, Davis became the first Little Leaguer to make the cover of Sports Illustrated, was featured in Teen Vogue, has thrown out the first pitch at the World Series, released an autobiography, and played in the NBA All-Star Celebrity game.

Davis will be a consult on the movie, which she hopes will encourage viewers to believe that dreams can really come true. Casting and the airdate information isn’t available yet, but that Mo’Ne Davis rain just won’t let up.
