Good book! I think the Driveline blog is a better source for folks working with youth athletes. The MVP Machine was a little bit more Moneyball than player development oriented . . . Bauer. I had a bit of a meltdown about him - I was momentarily worried that his name alone would bring a huge negative reaction to people associated with Driveline training methods. That seems to have not come to pass. I very much like the Driveline "Skills that Scale" training approach. I took several brand-new-to-softball middle schoolers into 50+ MPH bat speeds with overload/underload training and bat sensors. One great athlete hit 60+ in training in her very first year of playing the game. Course, she looks like a D1 athlete as well, so she may have gotten there just by putting a bat in her hand . . .
