Educational- Easy to read-great gift for any youngster
My grandson & his father read and applied the techniques mentioned in the book and we are happy to say they improved his, the grandson, hitting and provided a positive outlook on baseball.

Mattingly's Hitting IS Simple
This is a very informative book that teaches the simple techniques of Don Mattingly's style of hitting. It has great pictures showing the techniques and explains in detail how to be a better baseball hitter without being too complicated. It is great for the beginner or experienced batter looking to improve. I am using these techniques to coach my 10 year old and his Little League team and have seen much improvement in just a few weeks.

Don Mattingly.A hitting genius.
What more to say.He is a great teacher and this book will help teach kids the art of hitting.It even gave me some pointers as well.A nice job by everyone involved on this project.I recomend it for anyone teaching kids how to hit.

Good basic information
For a 12 year old, this is a great book.There are no complicated theories on hitting, linear vs. rotational, absolutes, swing planes, etc.The instruction is very basic, how to create a balanced workable stance, and some practice drills.

On the negative side, there are places in the book where the author will say something is very important, but not give you any idea of how to achieve it.This was especially true in the discussion of bottom hand, which was only a page, but I was left thinking "great, I know it's important, now tell me how it works."There is also a lot of filler.Pages of anecdotes about players, such as Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken, etc., and career leaders in a number of hitting catagories.

Excellent!!!
Great book from one of "The Greatest Yankees" ever!Donnie's insight to hitting is second to none.Remember his nickname was "The Hitman"...so he knows what he's talking about.This book is a valuable source for Little Leaguers, Pony League players and baseball players of all ages wanting to improve their game. ...

Yankees are the BEST!
My husband saw this book at work and immediately we researched it and found it on Amazon.com.We bought it for our grandson for a future gift.He reached High Honors a week later and we gave it to him.He is 12 years old and he loved it.A special gift for a special boy.

My son loved it!
My son is a beloved Yankee fan and we gave this to him for his 21st birthday. It was a hit & he couldn't put it down. It is full of great pictures and lots of history and information. And I thought it was a good value, too, for as fat a book as it is! I definitely recommend it. ... Read more
