A welcome title for any youth baseball coach or player, this pitching how-to guide illustrates each important step or movement in the successful delivery of the horsehide and instructs ably on injury avoidance, preparation (both physical and mental), and health and medicine, with an especially useful concluding chapter on "Choosing Your Post High School Path." Curtis's clear and focused color photos make plain the correct mechanics leading to optimum success. Multithemed discussions direct readers' attention to strategy, psychology, self-awareness, and self-correction. Little is overlooked in fundamental information, and much is presented in age-appropriate language. (DVD not seen.)—G.R.
