Product Description

Here's what the pros are saying about this classic volume on how baseball scouts find "diamonds in the rough"! "I had no idea I was being scouted when Al Goldis saw me playing amateur ball in New York's Central Park league. If I had this book then, it would have given me further insight into the standards required for breaking into the big leagues." -- Devon White, outfielder, Arizona Diamondbacks "This is straight talk--the book you've wanted to see in print. Read it and re-read it. The sections on why scouts sign certain ballplayers and bypass others are right on the mark." -- Joe McIlvaine, former General Manager, New York Mets and San Diego Padres; now a top scout with the Minnesota Twins "Coaches would be wise to make this book 'must' reading for members of their teams." -- Roland Hemond, former major league Scouting Director and Farm Director, General Manager for the Chicago White Sox, 1971-1985; now a top baseball consultant with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
