It goes deeper than the typical skills and techniques found in most books on this topic. Baseball's 6th Tool helps you examine your "inner self" to identify habits, attitudes, and behaviors that limit your performance on the field. It then helps you apply what you've learned through a solid program that enables you to change these limiting behaviors. Since you can't outperform your self-image, you need to reshape that image and raise it if you want to break out of your comfort zone, increase your confidence, and perform more consistently on the field. Baseball's 6th tool is endorsed by Hall of Famers, front office personal, professional coaches and players and coaches at the collegiate and high school levels.

Book Synopsis Evaluating the Sixth Tool by : Seth Haselhuhn
Download or read book Evaluating the Sixth Tool written by Seth Haselhuhn and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this exploratory study was to gain a better understanding of baseball specific makeup and begin development of a valid and reliable instrument designed for use by Major League Baseball (MLB) to objectively assess specific personality characteristics (i.e., makeup) of professional baseball prospects. Four instruments were chosen to measure the psychological constructs of baseball makeup including: motivational styles, self-theories regarding ability, resilience, and moral reasoning. Participants included 232 collegiate baseball players currently competing in five different divisions of collegiate baseball who responded to the package of original instruments as well as items modified to use baseball specific language. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to successfully reduce and combine subscales of the original instruments into an overall model with acceptable fit indexes. Correlational analysis and paired-t-test results provided no support for sport-specific modification of the original instruments. Bivariate and canonical correlation analysis demonstrated consistent, conceptually relevant relationships between the psychological constructs examined. K-mean cluster analysis produced three meaningful motivational style profiles for the sample population and MANOVA results provided conceptually relevant differences between the profiles. In total, results provide objective insights into baseball makeup and support the need for educational interventions as part of professional baseball prospect development.

Book excerpt: Big data has altered the fabric of America's Pastime. In the Sixth Tool, old-school scouts like Maxwell "Cutter" McGrath are caught between a rich history of using their baseball experience to find future talent and a new management culture that is focused on using data scientists and algorithms to find their players. With his job in peril, Cutter's obsession with winning a World Series ring intensifies. Not only to vindicate his own loss of the World Series as a former player but to silence the tormenting voice of his father that continues to punish him from the grave. Out of options, Cutter stakes his career on Dallas Parker, a talented but troubled junior college pitcher who regularly fails to control his emotions both on and off the field. But when Dallas loses his young daughter to cancer, Cutter draws upon his own broken relationships to help Dallas get back onto the mound. As the two develop a father-son relationship, Dallas carries the club to the World Series where they square off against star pitcher, Grady McGrath-- Cutter's estranged son.For every book sold, the Author will be donating 100% of his net royalties to benefit Children's Cancer Research.

Twelve-year-old Trish can solve tough math problems and throw a mean fastball. But because of her mom's new job, she's now facing a summer trying to make friends all over again in a new town. That isn't an easy thing to do, and her mom is too busy to notice how miserable she is. But at her first baseball practice, Trish realizes one of her teammates is Ben, the sixth-grade math prodigy she beat in the spring Math Puzzler Championships. Everyone around them seems to think that with their math talent and love of baseball, it's only logical that Trish and Ben become friends, but Ben makes it clear he still hasn't gotten over that loss and can't stand her. To make matters worse, their team can't win a single game. But then they meet Rob, an older kid who smacks home runs without breaking a sweat. Rob tells them about his family's store, which sells unusual snacks that will make them better ballplayers. Trish is dubious, but she's willing to try almost anything to help the team. When a mysterious booklet of math puzzles claiming to reveal the "ultimate answer" arrives in her mailbox, Trish and Ben start to get closer and solve the puzzles together. Ben starts getting hits, and their team becomes unstoppable. Trish is happy to keep riding the wave of good luck . . . until they get to a puzzle they can't solve, with tragic consequences. Can they find the answer to this ultimate puzzle, or will they strike out when it counts the most?
Book Synopsis The Baseball Codes by : Jason Turbow
Download or read book The Baseball Codes written by Jason Turbow and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insider’s look at baseball’s unwritten rules, explained with examples from the game’s most fascinating characters and wildest historical moments. Everyone knows that baseball is a game of intricate regulations, but it turns out to be even more complicated than we realize. All aspects of baseball—hitting, pitching, and baserunning—are affected by the Code, a set of unwritten rules that governs the Major League game. Some of these rules are openly discussed (don’t steal a base with a big lead late in the game), while others are known only to a minority of players (don’t cross between the catcher and the pitcher on the way to the batter’s box). In The Baseball Codes, old-timers and all-time greats share their insights into the game’s most hallowed—and least known—traditions. For the learned and the casual baseball fan alike, the result is illuminating and thoroughly entertaining. At the heart of this book are incredible and often hilarious stories involving national heroes (like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays) and notorious headhunters (like Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale) in a century-long series of confrontations over respect, honor, and the soul of the game. With The Baseball Codes, we see for the first time the game as it’s actually played, through the eyes of the players on the field. With rollicking stories from the past and new perspectives on baseball’s informal rulebook, The Baseball Codes is a must for every fan.
Download or read book Willie Mays written by James S. Hirsch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-03 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling, authorized, “enormously entertaining and wide-ranging” (The Seattle Times) biography of the late, great Willie Mays. Willie Mays (1931–2024) was arguably the greatest player in baseball history, revered for the passion he brought to the game. He began as a teenager in the Negro Leagues, became a cult hero in New York, and was the headliner in Major League Baseball’s bold expansion to California. He was a blend of power, speed, and stylistic bravado that enraptured fans for more than two decades. Author James Hirsch reveals the man behind the player. Mays was a transcendent figure who received standing ovations in enemy stadiums and who, during the turbulent civil rights era, urged understanding and reconciliation. More than his records, his legacy is defined by the pure joy that he brought to fans and the loving memories that have been passed to future generations so they might know the magic and beauty of the game. With meticulous research and drawing on interviews with Mays himself as well as with close friends, family, and teammates, Hirsch presents a brilliant portrait of one of America’s most significant cultural icons.
