The Art and Science of Pitching October 27, 2007
This is a wonderful resource for understanding all that goes into throwing and pitching effectively and I have only started with the book. Look forward to the rest of it.

A Good Book for Everybody...Not just High School Kids June 5, 2007

I wouldn't go as far as saying you can find most of the information in this book on the website. That's not the case at all. You can find a little bit of the information from this book ont the website but not very much. This book presents the pitching information in a very simple format making it very easy to find whatever you are looking for. It includes drills to correct many of the problems pitchers now-a-days are having. It is a very good book, and it's probably the best pitching book to date. Tom House is a very reputable source and is called by some the "pitching guru." If you are a coach, a player, a curious parent, or a student of the game/pitching, you'll want this book.

 A good book for high school pitchers March 1, 2007

The A&S of Pitching offers up a nice mix of information on pitching mechanics, functional strength, drills, and nutrition. Tom House fans and members of his National Pitching Association probably are not going to find any new "ground breaking" material in this book. Much of what's here also is on the NPA website -- and in House's other books on pitching (he's got at least six of them). Yet, this still is beneficial for intermediate skill level coaches, parents, and players - particularly high schoolers.
