Hit and Run Baseball details the skills and drills needed to improve a team's offense. It will help teams manufacture runs without the benefit of big hits. Coach Rod Delmonico - head baseball coach at the University of Tennessee - shows how to make things happen while at bat or on base. He discusses the basic skills and the advanced insights needed to develop an aggressive baseball offence. As a seasoned presenter at baseball clinics nation-wide, Delmonico gives a coaching clinic in the book form. Hit and Run Baseball is heavily illustrated with over 200 sequenced pictures showing positioning, footwork, and technique for hitting, bunting, running the bases, and sliding. The book includes valuable coaching points for detecting opponents' weaknesses that can help teams take extra bases. Plus every chapter concludes with mental tips for players and skill-specific drills - 25 in all.
