Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Using 21st century information and technology, noted author, researcher, and former MLB pitcher and coach Tom House answers the question 'What is a good pitching delivery?' In this amazing resource, House and co-author Paul Reddick address conventional wisdom and misinformation of pitching, present the 'five absolutes' of pitching a baseball, and present detailed deliveries (including extraordinary photographic analysis) of the 25 best pitchers of the recent past, present, and future. House and Reddick also show how the five absolutes work for each pitcher—despite their stylistic differences. Over 125 photographs and illustrations.

Rated by buyers -
Tom House has managed to condense the essentials of a good pitching delivery into a highly readable book. We use it for pitcher instruction because a picture is indeed worth a thousand words. The discussions dealing with conventional wisdom are also very, very interesting and will definitely light up any cocktail party in which baseball fans are present. This book is highly recommended when used in conjunction with other teaching materials such as Dick Mills DVDs et al.
Rated by buyers -
If you were only to invest in only one book on pitching mechanics this would have to be it. It is a perfect balance of hi-tech computer based biomechanical research and utter simplicity. Rather than blind you with science, you get visual illustrations of what you need to do to achieve perfect mechanics. Each carefully chosen picture is worth a thousand words.
I have no higher praise of this book, which balances complexity with simplicity, and explodes countless pitching mechanic myths perpetuated like old wive's tales by countless generations of coaches.
I thought I had seen and heard it all when it comes to coaching ideas on pitching mechanics (including biomechanics-research based stuff from both America and Japan) but this book was simply a revelation in the way it condensed extraordinarily complex biomechanical concepts into little take-home nutshells of wisdom.
This one is a MUST!!!
