The Pitching Edge
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In modern baseball, the best pitchers are those who master both the art and science of the position. Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, and Kevin Brown are among the many greats who developed this mastery with the help of pitching coach Tom House. Now, in The Pitching Edge, House offers you his special instruction and insight into the mechanics, conditioning, and psychology for superior pitching performance.
Part I provides clear and detailed information and drills for developing and improving pitching techniques, from initial set up through the post-follow-through. Pitcher-specific training is covered in Part II, with special exercises and instructions for throwing arm maintenance, recovering and preparing physically between starts and relief appearances, and staying in great shape and injury-free throughout the long competitive season. Part III delves into the winning pitcher's mindset, emphasizing both mental toughness and smart strategic decisions to come out on top in key games and over the course of a season.
Learn from a master pitching coach whose methods have been proven successful and are now widely used from Little League to the Major Leagues, from the United States to Japan. With this book, you will truly have The Pitching Edge.
