Book excerpt: With a mere two hundred words, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the gifted American poet, changed the lives of countless numbers of young people by composing his inspiring poem, THE PSALM OF LIFE. Ken Beardslee, in this his sixth book, believes he can change the lives of thousands of young baseball pitchers with his latest effort, MAKING EVERY PITCH COUNT. It is a book of limited pages, easily understood, and in the long run quality always triumphs over quantity. With the lively baseball, the much smaller strike zone, and the lowering of the mound, all present day pitchers are working with a very narrow window to success. With new approaches, and tested theories of his own, the author presents a program that will vastly improve any pitcher's performance. The author's record as an amateur and professional pitcher, and his deep experience as a big league scouting supervisor for the Pittsburgh Pirates, speaks for itself. At Vermontville High School in Michigan, he set seven state pitching records. In addition he holds the national record for strikeouts per batters faced during a high school season, and career. In professional baseball before being injured, he had a seventy five percent winning percentage in the New York Yankee organization. MAKING EVERY PITCH COUNT breaks new ground for pitchers of all ages.
