Book Reviews of The Baseball Drill Book

Book Review: Great book for coaches and player
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is great for a Baseball coach, from Little League all the way through high school. Not only does it give a number of drills for each area (e.g. warmups, throwing, pitching, catching, batting, defensive situations), but it provides many illustrations to show how the drills should be run, and provided details on the how and why.

I have recommended this book to a number of other coaches and each has really appreciated it.

Summary of The Baseball Drill Book

Get more out of each practice! The Baseball Drill Book presents 198 activities to sharpen every aspect of player and team performance.

The American Baseball Coaches Association enlisted 17 top baseball coaches to create the best and most complete collection of baseball drills in print. Bob Bennett, Ed Cheff, Gordie Gillespie, Gene Stephenson, Ray Tanner, and a dozen more coaching greats cover all the bases:

? Conditioning and warm-up
? Throwing and catching
? Base running and sliding
? Hitting and bunting
? Pitching
? Fielding
? Offensive and defensive tactics

Additional chapters explain how to incorporate drills in practice sessions and simulate game situations. The Baseball Drill Book provides the essential links between initial skill learning, mastery, and winning performance on the diamond.
