A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches
A lively blend of reporting, history and personal profiles that traces the development and cultural significance of ten defining baseball pitches. Traveling to locker rooms, pitching clinics and ballparks, the author explains the mechanics and histories of pitches—from the fastball and curve to the splitter and knuckleball—while profiling legendary and lesser-known pitchers and coaches who shaped them. He connects pitching art to changing technology, analytics and strategy, showing how each pitch evolved and why it matters to the modern game, producing both a technical primer and a human portrait of the obsession that drives pitchers.
