title: Covering All the Bases: The Ultimate Baseball Handbook
author: Darren Gurney
description: Coach Gurney has spent a lifetime accumulating baseball knowledge, and it comes pouring out of his book, Covering All the Bases. If you want to become a better player or a smarter coach, let Coach Gurney be your guide. --Mike Flam, Sportswriter, The New York Times<br /><br />The pitching fundamentals included in Covering All the Bases helped me learn the proper mechanics and pitching techniques that have helped me get to where I am today. In fact, several of the drills that I do on an everyday basis with the Florida Marlins coaching staff are drills that were originally introduced to me by Coach Gurney. --Tom Koehler, Pitcher, Florida Marlins Organization<br /><br />I applaud Coach Gurney's instructional methods and the manner in which he teaches the fundamentals of the game. He combines his knowledge of the game with a keen instinct to detect, and subsequently correct, a player's mechanical flaws. --Roy Krasik, Senior Director of Baseball Operations, Major League Baseball
