Its How You Throw the Game

There have been many instructional books written on baseball. Most cover fundamentals of hitting, fielding, catching, running & pitching. None, to my knowledge, has ever been written concentrating strictly on how to throw a baseball. It's a part of the game that is taken for granted even though many experienced baseball people say that throwing is the name of the game. With this in mind, Wes Rinker, a former professional pitcher & scout, has written a book on the art of throwing that will benefit players & coaches of all ages & every level of play. IT'S HOW YOU THROW THE GAME! is not a book about throwing a game, like the Black Sox 1919. It's a book that details Rinker's theory of learning how to throw a round-ball square. It's a book of simple instructions for anyone who wants to learn the easy way to throw a baseball accurately. It is not a book on pitching rather it simplifies the art of throwing from all positions of the field. Rinker's throwing fundamentals, most importantly, eliminates the stress on the shoulder & forearm. To a former player, such as this writer whose professional career was aborted by a sore shoulder, Rinker's fundamentals surely would have lengthened his career even if it wouldn't have led to the big time. I read the 93-page book in a short time then found myself reading it a second time. During the second reading I kept a baseball in my hand "to get the feel of the ball" as Rinker recommends in a chapter devoted to the importance of getting the proper feel of the ball.
