A special report featuring ideas from the WebBall community


We challenged the WebBall community to tell us the toughest pitches they face as hitters. Then we turned to experts, our own in-house teaching methods, and survey respondents to come up with answers. The result is a special report unlike anything you've ever seen. This "how to hit" PDF explains why pitches like the curveball, slider, change-up, and high-heat are so tough on batters. You'll learn the physics behind each pitch, how to model their flight paths, how to set yourself physically - and mentally - to handle the worst of the worst.

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

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 illustrations and ideas that have not yet found their way on to the pages of WebBall.

While the printed book is currently sold out, PDF chapters are st ill available.

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
