WebBall.com - Books on Hitting & Baserunning

The most surprising aspect of this project was the chance it provided to take a second or third look at the information on WebBall and decide what we could explain - and show - even better. The result is way more than the original game plan of some preprinted website pages. In developing original content for the field manual, we also created a ton of newer illustrations, and revamped many instructional approaches. While these new ideas may show up as part of the Team Player content on the website, this manual is the only way for coaches and players to get all of this info in one convenient package they can take to the field.

Thunder & Lightning

It's here - the most requested publication to be featured on WebBall in years. In answer to a growing demand to make the tips and techniques featured on our site available in hard copy, we've produced "Thunder & Lightning, the WebBall Field Manual for Run Production." Compiled and edited by head coach Richard Todd, this 150-page, large-format, spiral-bound book contains not only the best of our website, but many illustrations and ideas that have not yet found their way on to the pages of WebBall.

For me, the real value in this book is its realism. By that I mean it isn't about high-tech gadgets or superstar names, it's about how a typical coach can work with typical kids to make them better. Lots of tips plus many b/w photos to correct common swing problems, plus practical drills to work on every aspect of young hitters swings - as used by a guy who has taught over 60,000 lessons. Good help when you need it. - Richard Todd, WebBall

This is much more entertaining and informative than I expected a book on signs might be. But the real value to me is in the large collection of offensive and defensive plays. It includes some great fielding coverage drills and plenty of coaching strategy. Perhaps the most underrated book on the market. - Richard Todd, WebBall
