Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller from the author of The Bullpen Gospels. “A humorous, candid and insightful memoir . . . Grade: Home Run.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer After six years in the minors, pitcher Dirk Hayhurst hopes 2008 is the year he breaks into the big leagues. But every time Dirk looks up, the bases are loaded with challenges—a wedding balancing on a blind hope, a family in chaos, and paychecks that beg Dirk to ask, “How long can I afford to keep doing this?” Then it finally happens—Dirk gets called up to the Majors, to play for the San Diego Padres.

Like the classic games of baseball’s history, Out of My League entertains from the first pitch to the last out, capturing the gritty realities of playing on the big stage, the comedy and camaraderie in the dugouts and locker rooms, and the hard-fought, personal journeys that drive our love of America’s favorite pastime. “A rare gem of a baseball book.”—Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated “Observant, insightful, human, and hilarious.”—Bob Costas “A fun read . . .

Download or read book The Baseball Player s Guide to Hitting Like a Pro written by Roy Lingster and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-26 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every good hitter is fighting a battle... Do you know what yours is and how to turn it to your advantage on the field? 3 out of every 4 appearances at the plate result in an out. You probably know this... so why are you doubting your skills? Self-doubt is natural in any sport, but in baseball, it can be detrimental to getting out of a hitting slump -- yet it affects so many players -- pros and weekenders alike. Former Colorado Rockies pitcher Jason Marquis knew this only too well. "You're out on the mound not trusting your stuff, waiting for the next bad thing to happen, instead of going out there and grabbing the bull by the horns," he said. And the same issue affects hitters: as soon as you start to doubt yourself, your approach is shaken, and you're stuck in a cycle of misses. You're focusing on what you're doing wrong rather than what you can do to improve your game -- and that isn't going to help you. Perhaps you think you need to work on your mechanics. Perhaps you're doubting your fitness or worrying that you should be training more. But more likely than not, none of this is true. What needs fixing is not your technique: it's your attitude. And it's through attitude that the greats took their place in the league tables. Think of Ichiro Suzuki or Rod Carew, both noted for their unusual form... it's not mechanics that make a great hitter: it's what else is going on behind that swing. To hit like a pro, you need to think like a pro -- and that means mastering a specific mental attitude as well as your physical technique. Sound like a lot to handle? If you love the game, it's not so hard -- you just need some expert guidance... and you're about to get it. In The Baseball Player's Guide to Hitting Like a Pro, you'll find a clear guide to improving your hitting technique without focusing on mechanics alone. You'll discover: The 7 key elements needed to build a strong foundation for good hitting Exactly what you can learn from MLB heroes like Pete Rose and Joe Morgan Why bench-time may not be such a bad thing -- and how you can use it to your advantage How to look beyond the field to improve your attitude (and why you should) The reason why it isn't just top hitters you should be learning from -- and who you should be looking at instead Swing fundamentals broken down into key elements -- so you know exactly what it is you should be working on How to make technique changes that don't ruin improvements you've already made to your swing Why confidence is just as problematic as self-doubt -- and what you can do to mitigate it if you're on a streak The power of 'Situational Spirit' -- what it is, and how to harness its power A clear path out of your slump so you can start ranking again And much more. If you've fallen into a slump and you're doubting your skills as a hitter, don't despair. Even the top players have been there... The difference is that they know a secret. It won't always be easy, but if you recognize that, you're already halfway there: get ready to learn that secret, and watch your ranking improve -- even when it feels like it never will. If you're ready to master the true technique of the pros and elevate your swing, then scroll up and click "Add to Cart" right now.

Download or read book Tim McCarver s Baseball for Brain Surgeons and Other Fans written by Tim McCarver and published by Villard. This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tim McCarver, major league baseball's premier analyst, has been surprising and delighting viewers for years with his remarkable insight. Fans who once were content to merely watch baseball were stimulated into wanting to think baseball as well. McCarver brings to the booth a combination of twenty-one years of major league service and nearly twenty more in broadcasting. There is nobody better at explaining the game than McCarver, and it is a rare game in which the viewer does not learn something new and unusual. Now he is putting down on paper all he knows about the sport, producing this unique perspective on how America's pastime should be played and watched. With his unmistakable wit and storytelling verve, McCarver succinctly explains the fundamentals and proper mechanics of baseball at the level necessary for success in the major leagues. Once the skills have been learned, the viewer can devise smart strategies, getting into the heads of the players, coaches, and managers: When should a player or manager be conservative or aggressive; what factors change as the count goes deeper; how do you set up an effective running game, and how can a defense try to sabotage it? This book is a gold mine for all fans, from brain surgeons and rocket scientists to beginners who want to start with the basics. (Even major leaguers will be able to pick up some pointers.) With a deeper knowledge and understanding of baseball, any fan will be able to watch it like a pro.
