Baserunning on the big diamond,
By
This review is from: High Percentage Baserunning (Paperback)
I've coached little league for many years with great success but the game on the bigger diamond (13 yr olds and above) is much more complicated. This book is outstanding in that it is packed with practical information for coaches. I especially appreciate the fact that the author is able to substantiate his advice with probability and statistics.
