Summary: Required reading for the serious ballplayer and his parents
Review: Written by Reds Senior Scouting Director Goldis and by baseball writer, commentator and coach Wolff (both former pro ballplayers), this book demystifies the process of getting that pro contract. It offers hope to those who were overlooked in the free agent draft, explains the scouting system and how scouts evaluate talent--including the specific skills needed to reach the major leagues. There are chapters on marketing yourself, frequently asked questions, and a full treatment of the workings of tryout camps. Great stuff!
