Endorsed by the American Baseball Coaches Association, the sport's largest coaching organization, this book is written by baseball coaches - including Coaches of the Century at the secondary school and university level, as named by Collegiate Baseball in 1999. Active national championship-winning coaches such as Skip Bertman, Ed Cheff, Gordie Gillespie and Andy Lopez combine with Rod Dedeaus, Cliff Gustafson and Ron Fraser to represent the finest in coaching from the 1940s to today. The list of players these coaches helped develop include Major League Hall of Famers such as Tom Seaver, Reggie Jackson and Nolan Ryan as well as present-day stars like Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Mike Mussina, Robin Ventura, Randy Johnson, Will Clark and Trevor Hoffman. This volume covers every facet of coaching and shares the wisdom of coaches who have proven they are the best, addressing the subjects they know best. The articles includes stories, insights and strategies, each expressed in the coaches' own style and terminology.
