I've been looking for a way to help young players with their hitting. Be A Hitter! is the best book I have found. It spells out the basic fundamentals in very easy to understand terms and each point is perfectly illustrated with demonstration photos. The book also has an inspiring tone as Zabriskie speaks to the mental approach good hitters need to have. He also encourages readers to be the best they can be and shows them how to achieve that goal. The photos of some of the greatest Major League hitters of all time are also a plus. I have already seen positive results in youngsters who have read Be A Hitter! and applied the principles. It's a great book for youth, parents and coaches.

This book designed primarily for youth wanting to be successful in the game of baseaball, also has an added benefit. The instruction included in Be A Hitter! can also be applied to everyday circumstances in many ways. Zabriskie uses terms such as practice, patience and perseverence in his words of advice and encouragement to the players. But more than just wanting to win every time, is the emphasis on being the best you can be and pictorial guides and examples of how to achieve this. He goes on to say if you are the best you can be, then you are a winner.

The book has lots of positive personal experiences and real-life stories. The author is a former professional ball player and sports broadcaster...he speaks from great experience. I highly recommend Be A Hitter! for all youth playing the game of baseball.
