I was looking for a baseball book that taught the basics and I found Lil Diamonds. I'm a mom of 4 kids and I wanted to be sure I was teaching my kids the right way to play baseball (boys) and softball (girls) using drills and being consistently consistent with them while practicing to give them an edge on the field. If you have a young child that is starting out or you want them to play better or if you are coach, buy the book! There's no better information than from a former professional baseball player!
