Abstract:
Great baseball pitchers possess more than sound mechanics, a blazing fastball, and a good arm. They know how to "pitch"--What ball to throw, when to throw it and where to aim it. This book takes you inside the art and science of pitching. It covers topics ranging from pre game warm-ups to cultivating the pitcher/catcher relationship.
