The Best videos/books

[CoachW]

I am looking for your opinons on the best videos/books for hitting, pitching, and catching. Obviously I mean a video/book for each separate skill. Not one book for all 3. I value your opinions on here and look forward to what you think.

Coach we have discussed this many times over the past year. You may want to do a search and see what the other threads have come up with. As far as catching materials go -there's only one - Dave Weaver's from the New England Catcher's Clinic

[BallCoach06]

Here are the videos we use religiously with our players in our program:

Hitting - Mike Epstein, John Cohen, and John Mallee
Pitching - Tom House, Jerry Weinstein, Alan Jaeger, and a series of tapes from U of Miami
Catching - Jerry Weinstein and Tom Griffin (Probably my 2 favorite DVD's)
Infield - Jack Leggett and Danny Hall

As far books I like anything from the ABCA and the Ron Polk Baseball Playbook.

You may also want to look into SETPRO stuff for pitching materials. I've heard they are the best, if you can get them.
