Coaching Pitchers is a complete coach's guide to pitching for youth, junior high, high school, and college baseball. Written by a nationally recognized collegiate coach who has coached three teams to NCAA playoffs and who has sent 37 pitchers on to play professionally, this book covers the mechanical, physical, and mental aspects of pitching.
