Book: "Baseball Strategies"
with the American Baseball
Coaches Association
-------------------
Book Overview:
-------------------
.....Some books teach coaches and players
what to do; this also explains why.
Developed by an all-star cast of coaches
selected by the American Baseball Coaches
Association, Baseball Strategies is the
most comprehensive resource ever written
on the tactical aspects of the game.
.....Providing the content are 18 of the
game’s top strategists, including several
coaches whose teams have totaled more than
1,000 wins and have won national championships.

.....Meet every decision-making challenge,
from setting the most effective lineup at
the plate and in the field to deciding what
play to call and when to call it in tight
game situations.
--Should a runner be sent
on a 2-2 pitch with one out?
--Should a hitter be walked to allow
for a force-out even if the next batter
is an RBI leader?
--When should a pitcher hold a runner
on base from the stretch position or
pitch from a more comfortable full windup?
.....The analyses and answers to all of
these questions and many more can be
found in this book.

.....In part I, you’ll learn the
specifics of offense, from determining
the hitting lineup to studying the strengths
and weaknesses of the opposing pitcher
and defense. The contributors to the offensive
side of the game include Itch Jones,
Mike Gillespie, Danny Hall, and Mark Johnson.
.....In part II, experts such as Bob Bennett
and John Winkin explore pitching from every
angle, including strategies for shutting
down hitters, stopping baserunners, and
fielding the position.
.....In Parts III and Parts IV,
you’ll learn better defensive
strategies for fine-tuning your
strategic approach from George Horton,
Jim Morris, and Bobo Brayton,
just to name a few.

.....Take a big tactical lead on your
opponent. From position-specific
responsibilities to situation-specific
options to adjusting to the level of
competition to altering your game plan
in the middle innings, Baseball Strategies
covers all the bases to give you a winning
advantage in thinking the game.
