    °I5~I The three basic principles a scout looks for in a young baseball prospect are: • Running ability • Throwing ability • Hitting ability. Temperament and character also come in for consideration among the young players. To become a great ball player, naturally the prospect must be able to do everything well, However, some players are able to make the big time with ability only in two of the above mentioned. In the final analysis — it is the prospect himself who determines his future in baseball. Physical fitness is a necessity, but the incentive to improve on his own natural ability is the key to his future success. Compliments of .

  • Baseball in Japan and the US History, Culture, and Future Prospects by Daniel A
    Sports, Culture, and Asia Baseball in Japan and the US History, Culture, and Future Prospects By Daniel A. Métraux A 1927 photo of Kenichi Zenimura, the father of Japanese-American baseball, standing between Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Source: Japanese BallPlayers.com at http://tinyurl.com/zzydv3v. he essay that follows, with a primary focus on professional baseball, is intended as an in- troductory comparative overview of a game long played in the US and Japan. I hope it will provide readers with some context to learn more about a complex, evolving, and, most of all, Tfascinating topic, especially for lovers of baseball on both sides of the Pacific. Baseball, although seriously challenged by the popularity of other sports, has traditionally been considered America’s pastime and was for a long time the nation’s most popular sport. The game is an original American sport, but has sunk deep roots into other regions, including Latin America and East Asia. Baseball was introduced to Japan in the late nineteenth century and became the national sport there during the early post-World War II period. The game as it is played and organized in both countries, however, is considerably different. The basic rules are mostly the same, but cultural differences between Americans and Japanese are clearly reflected in how both nations approach their versions of baseball. Although players from both countries have flourished in both American and Japanese leagues, at times the cultural differences are substantial, and some attempts to bridge the gaps have ended in failure. Still, while doubtful the Japanese version has changed the American game, there is some evidence that the American version has exerted some changes in the Japanese game.

  • Coaching Manual
    The East Torrens Coaches Manual is a resource designed for use by coaches and players to gain a comprehensive understanding of the philosophies, skills and plays of the East Torrens Baseball Club. This manual should be used by teams from T-Ball right through to Division One and provides the guidance and support in order to develop the best possible baseball players and coaches we can. The aim of this manual is not to create robots but sound baseball players and coaches who have a passion for the game and a desire to be the best baseball person they can. To achieve this, the East Torrens Coaching Manual provides information to coaches focusing on how athletes learn and develop, a breakdown of fundamental skills to help improve your players and detailed instruction on key elements on the mental aspect of baseball, so everyone can raise their baseball IQ. The key to the manual is that every player and coach in the club needs to know the contents and have an understanding on how to apply it. As a coach it is up to you to ensure all the players are able to execute all aspects of the manual and when in doubt regarding content please seek clarification from the senior coaching staff. This manual however, will not enforce how you chose to run a game. This is up to you as a coach and your individual baseball philosophy. This manual hopefully is the bases for that philosophy and the attributes we want in all our players and coaches. This manual will always be evolving just like the game of baseball itself.
