This review is from: Complete Baseball Player (Paperback)

This book was recommended by my son's pitching coach. He said it was hard to get and it is out of print. I found it and bought it on the second try. It was worth the wait. This book from cover to cover is full of great tips, advice and insight into how a player can improve their game. It is a must-have for any kid with dreams of making it to the big leagues.
