Every player need to read it. They also need to read "The Art of Hitting .300" by Charley Lau. Lau built George Brett, Wade Boggs, and Don Mattingly - three of the best ever.
Ah, yes Charley Lau. I really got into his hitting techniques in high school and it helped me(a smaller guy) develop some pop. I was pretty much a line drive singles guy, but his techniques actually helped me become a gap to gap doubles guy too. Carried into my later career but never become a hr threat, lol.
