In contrast to certain pitching theorists who share their insights without firsthand experience, Dan Blewett brings a field-tested perspective in his book, drawn from his own journey. With a deep understanding of what truly works and effective communication skills, Blewett's book strikes a balance, covering the basics comprehensively while presenting them in a way that resonates even with seasoned pitchers, helping them grasp the reasons behind the techniques they've been taught.
What sets this book apart is its in-depth exploration beyond the basics, particularly in crucial areas like situational pitch selection. Blewett's explanation of pitch selection is unparalleled, offering a logical and insightful approach that I haven't found in any other book. Chapter 11, dedicated to situational pitch selection, is a gem that every catcher and pitching coach should have in their library.
In summary, while other books on pitching theory may boast authors with impressive credentials but limited personal experience, Dan Blewett's book stands out as a practical guide tailored for pitchers aiming to genuinely elevate their craft. It's not just for coaches and managers; it's a must-read for any pitcher striving for improvement.
