What Does a Pitcher Do?

By Paul Challen

Baseball isn't easy. Every pitch is a test of wills between a pitcher and a batter, but pitching is more than just trying to throw a ball very hard. The strategy and skill involved in pitching is one of the most interesting things about baseball. This book takes readers onto the pitching mound to stare down the plate, choose a pitch, and try to strike a batter out. It also takes readers through the proper way to throw a baseball and execute the defensive strategy pitchers need to field the ball and make outs if a batter makes contact with a pitch.
