"Baseball's last .400 hitter share[s] his secrets in this primer
still used at all levels of the game." --Paul Dickson, author of Bill
Veeck: Baseball's Greatest Maverick
Now fully revised with new illustrations and diagrams, the classic--and
still the greatest--book on hitting from the last baseball player to
break the magic .400 barrier, Ted Williams.
Ted Williams was arguably the greatest pure hitter who ever lived. A
lifelong student of hitting, he sought advice from every great
hitter--and pitcher--he met. Drawing on that advice, as well as his own
legendary life in baseball, Williams produced the all-time batting
classic, The Science of Hitting. Using its detailed illustrations,
anecdotes, and concise coaching, players of all skill levels will learn
how to improve their fundamentals and gain keen insights into the finer
points of hitting, including:
-How to Think Like a Pitcher and Guess the Pitch
-The Three Cardinal Rules for Developing a Smooth Line-Driving Swing
-The Secrets of Hip and Wrist Action
-Pitch Selection
-Bunting
-Hitting the Opposite Way
The Science of Hitting is a must-read for all baseball players looking
to improve their turn at bat and for all coaches and parents teaching
the sport.
