About this title

Synopsis

No position on the field receives more attention from fans than the starting pitcher, and yet it is one of the most misunderstood positions in all of baseball. Author Rob Trucks conducted dozens of interviews with major league hurlers, from past greats like Jim Kaat and Bill "Spaceman" Lee to today's top pitchers, including Bronson Arroyo and Jake Peavy, to give baseball fans an insider's look at this key position.
