Trade ReviewFrom Scholastic Coach & Athletic Director
Two great coaches (editors) and a picked team of 18 topnotch coaches offer an outstanding compendium of talent on all the mechanics and niceties of pitching......Super stuff all the way up and down the line; including the writing, the illustrations, and the mentalities behind the expositions.
It is good stuff - sharp, insightful, thorough.
