Two great coaches (editors) and a picked team of 18 topnotch coaches offer an outstanding compendium of talent on all the mechanics and niceties of pitching……Super stuff all the way up and down the line; including the writing, the illustrations, and the mentalities behind the expositions.

It is good stuff - sharp, insightful, thorough.
