Each of the 8 chapters contains both a skills section and a drills section.

The drills sections contain a comprehensive suite of drills on Hitting, Base Running, Infield and Outfield Defense (by position), Pitching, Catcher (the position), Throwing and Catching, Fielding Footwork and Pre-Game Drills.

"A great resource that every coach should have in his or her library... from one of our sport's greatest players ever." Coach Mike Candrea, Olympic Gold Medal Coach and 8-Time NCAA Champion.
