Could Be Dangerous,
By "adw2" (Bay Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saving the Pitcher: Preventing Pitcher Injuries in Modern Baseball (Hardcover)
A book like this could be dangerous for inexperienced pitchers. Mr. Carroll is not a physician or trainer.I strongly recommend you consult a professional if you plan on using his drills.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Sure wish Jim Hendry would pick up a copy . . .,

This review is from: Saving the Pitcher: Preventing Pitcher Injuries in Modern Baseball (Hardcover)
This book has the potential to change the face of baseball, if only everyone would take the time to read it. The fact that so many teams still do not understand the basic principles laid forth in this book is downright sad.

An Essential Primer on Pitching Health,
By
This review is from: Saving the Pitcher: Preventing Pitcher Injuries in Modern Baseball (Hardcover)
Mr. Carroll does a marvelous job assembling and disseminating the evolving body of knowledge on this topic in a manner which is accessible and engaging. Contrary to the statements made by another recent reviewer, Mr. Carroll _does_ have a background in sports medicine. He relies up on this, but never loses sight of his audience. This book is invaluable reading for both experts and neophytes alike. Few areas are more misunderstood than the health and training of pitchers, and knowledge of and adherence to the principles espoused by Carroll and his subjects would go a long way toward improving pitchers' health and the overall quality of baseball. If you love baseball, read it.
