A new type of player is stepping into the batter's box--the on-base specialist. And it's about time; the last major advance in baseball offense came in 1973 with the designated hitter in the American League. In recent years, pitching has dominated hitting, and run production has been on the decline. With a new dynamic in offensive strategy, that is probably about to change. Batters in the future could well be on base more frequently than before, and more successful in getting on base than pitchers will be in getting them out. Most importantly, the on-base specialist will be expected to help his team score more runs and win more games.
This book is the first to explore this concept. The reasoning and statistics behind this new model of offense are sound and the implications may be game-changing.
