Review: Not just for kids - It is a little too advanced for my 7yo to read on his own, but I'm thoroughly enjoying reading it myself. Each page is packed full of information. I'm learning so much from this book. Review: Easily accessible and packed with relatable anecdotes and situational advice - As a dad coaching for my sons’ 10U and 12U teams, this book was a gold mine of fantastic information! In fact, I found this to book to be so helpful that I bought both a physical copy for my 12yo son, a digital Kindle copy for myself, AND the audiobook version to listen to in the car/on the way to games/practice/etc. Baseball iQ is super informative, very helpful for beginners as well as intermediate players, plus the Kindle version is basically a steal for the money ($2.99 at the time of this writing*)!! Perhaps the best part of the book is the accessibility and the short chapters packed with anecdotes and situational advice. The breakdowns make sense and it helps to provide a wholistic view of baseball by illustrating how all the moving parts work together.

Not just for kids
It is a little too advanced for my 7yo to read on his own, but I'm thoroughly enjoying reading it myself. Each page is packed full of information. I'm learning so much from this book.

Good but maybe a little hard for 9 year old to grasp
Great book. My 9 year old had a hard time buying in. That will probably vary from kid to kid though.

Perfect book for any athlete young or old!
Fantastic book for young athletes playing any sport. My grandson has grown so much in awareness in dealing with mistakes and losses and is able to self reflect better after reading this book. Each night he reads a chapter and we discuss the contents together. He is focusing on better nutrition and staying in shape and wants to continue with off season training. This book has taught him not only the physical aspects but also the mental resiliency that being a top athlete requires! Thank you for an outstanding book! We look forward to reading your others!

The MUST baseball book!!!
Bought it with a leap of faith. Thank God it came out simply THE BEST BOOK ever for anyone, kids, teens or grownups that truly want to learn about baseball. Looking forward for the Softball iQ version ;-) as our girls deserved their own book.

Purchased for my baseball crazy 12 year old
Purchased this for my son who lives baseball. He’s 12 years old and has read the first couple of chapters and says it’s quite good. Arrived before it said it was going to and in great condition. A lot of writing compared to pictures which might put some kids off but happy with the purchase overall.

It’s Not Just For Kids
Purchased for grandson’s birthday. He loves it so far and is looking forward to using some of his new found knowledge. It’s not just for kids. When I received this book I had a bit of a read of it myself and learned a lot. Even noticed things I had read about watching the World Series. Too bad our boys lost.
