Customer Reviews

A book for any Catcher!

Once I started reading this book I got angry everytime the morning train to work stopped and I had to get to work. Its a great read. Lots of interviews and stories about the position from old and younger players. For a guy like me who is still trying to learn the position this book was a load of insights. Any baseball fan would like this book.

Insightful

Simply put, this is the most insightful, well-researched book I've ever read on the position. It quickly and easily dispels the myth that catchers wear "the tools of ignorance."
