[AJ Guziak]

This is a good book that teaches you the fundamentals in baseball more in depth. it has really good lessons such as situational stuff and common questions asked by players. under the questions, there are answers that go in depth that are answered by top notch athletes such as future hall of famers Derek Jeter, CC Sabathia, and Tampa bay Rays player Evan Longoria.

This is a good book for 8-15 year olds who enjoy playing spoorts and would like to become more of a smart baseball player. This book helped me out as a first baseman on how to handle pickoffs and scoops. this book is one of the best things that has happened for my game of baseball.
