Description

Baseball player 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 and 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. This edition is bound by hand in genuine leather with debossed designs on the cover.
