Description:

Pitching in high level competition is as exciting, mentally challenging and physically demanding as any experience in sports. But few players will ever achieve the dream of taking the mound in a Major League uniform without building a solid foundation in proper pitching mechanics and preparation and developing strength and flexibility. A young player will take an important step toward acquiring confidence and building necessary skills by following the training techniques and conditioning methods described and carefully illustrated in “In Pursuit of Pitching Perfection.” Co-Authors Dave McKae and Nick Pereira are current minor league baseball players in the San Francisco Giants organization.

The description, illustration and preview are excellent. If I wanted to be a pitcher and I was not 34, I would definitely buy the book. I hope you are actively promoting your book to all minor-league and major-league baseball players.
Thank You!

Endorsements [ No Rating ] 11 Apr 2007
"A great “how to do it” primer for young pitchers and coaches. By following the throwing program in this book, pitchers learn what they need to do on a daily basis to master the craft of pitching. The best thing you can do to promote a young pitcher to a higher level is have them read this guide and study the diagrams. All pitchers need to learn how to throw using their lower body and this book teaches that. The arm strength and core exercises will allow players to stay healthy and maximize their potential."

-Lee Smith, Former Major League closer (478 saves) and current SF Giants Pitching Instructor

"In Pursuit of Pitching Perfection is a straightforward, no-nonsense guide to pitching for the dedicated young athlete. Many pitching instruction books are lengthy and difficult to comprehend but this book is upfront and focuses on the imperatives to become a successful pitcher."

-Bob Stanley, Former Boston Red Sox pitcher and current SF Giants Double-A Pitching Coach
