I bought this for my son who's just starting to play baseball, and he loves it! The illustrations are engaging and really motivate him to practice. It's become a part of his daily routine and he enjoys the journey aspect of the book.

Not what I expected
Honestly, I thought this would be more of a how-to guide. Instead, it reads more like a story, which was a bit of a letdown for me. The quality is fine, but it wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for as a coach.

Good content but took a while to arrive
The book is really well-written and offers a nice perspective on baseball, but I was disappointed with the shipping. It took a few extra days to get here. Still, my nephew is enjoying it, so that's what matters!
