About this audiobook
Hitting Secrets of the Pros is the first book of its kind to approach the art of hitting from an anecdotal perspective, providing keen insight and instruction through exclusive interviews and historical research. Nomar Garciaparra, Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire, Stan Musial, and Cal Ripken are only a few of the big-league batters who share their know-how with aspiring sluggers, teaching readers about styles and strategies, slumps and streaks, and everything they need to gain a competitive edge at the plate.
