4.0 out of 5 stars Great book. Some terminology clarification needed, April 2, 1999

By A Customer

Delmonico does a great job in showing numerous drills to develope the fundamentals of offensive baseball. However, Some terminology clarification needed for the readers who are not familiar with University of Tennesee baseball. Overall, a must read for coaches at the intermediate to advanced levels

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read., May 19, 1999

By A Customer

Delmonico presents his drills in an easy to understand format that is right to the point. The pictures and diagrams farthur simplify the understanding of these drills. The only thing is that sometimes he does not go into enough detail and leaves elements of the drills questionable in the mind of those that still have a thing or two to learn about the game and its terminology. Overall it should prove to be a great asset and improve any coaches ability to diversify drills and practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for K-4 graders practices..., May 23, 2001

By	Michael R. Henke (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I coach t-ball and little league. This book works great for even the youngsters. I pick and choose the appropriate drills, make copies for hand-outs, and do the drills for practice. They make it more interesting. Great book.
