The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers


Wikipedia - "The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers ... is a non-fiction baseball reference book, written by Rob Neyer and Bill James and published by Simon & Schuster in June 2004. In the text on its dust jacket, it bills itself as a 'comprehensive guide' to 'pitchers, the pitches they throw, and how they throw them'. The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers is divided into three main sections. The first section contains a series of 11 chapters dealing with eight different pitches, such as the fastball, spitball, curveball, change, slider, knuckleball, forkball, and screwball. These chapters detail such matters as the origin of these pitches, the history of their nomenclature, a description of any sub-types, and citations of different pitchers who were noted for their skill in throwing particular pitches."
