HittersIQ
The Strategic Hitter Library
Everybody coaches the swing. These books coach what comes before it: what the hitter is seeing, what he is deciding, and how he competes when the count turns against him. Written by Geoff Rottmayer for players, and for the parents and coaches who watch them.
Each book is a PDF, delivered right after checkout. Read it on a phone, a tablet, or print it for the dugout.
