Master the Major League secrets of... Infield and Outfield Play

Some of the skills you'll learn:

• Why your feet are as important as your hands when fielding grounders
• When an infielder should call for a pop-up
• Why an outfielder should always step back first
• The dangers of drifting in the outfield
• How to prevent "bouncing eyes" when chasing a fly ball

In baseball the learning never ends. Even in the Majors, almost one-sixth of the season is devoted to Spring Training. And most teams have a teacher (or coach) for every three or four players.

Play Ball brings the fundamentals of baseball into your home. It's taught by Major League coaches, using Major League drills, with footage of Major League stars, applying Major League techniques.

Play Ball covers all aspects of the game. It breaks the fundamentals down into bite-sized portions that are easy to understand and copy. It uses Major League footage to demonstrate the fundamentals and gives you tips and drills to reinforce them. It shows you how to motivate and inspire players so that learning is fun. And it gives players of all levels the skills they need to play ball the major league way.
