Book review titled 'Helping My Undersized 10-Year-Old Build His Own Hitting Routine for Long-Term Success' by Judd Hogan, dated January 28, 2025, discussing a training book for youth baseball, highlighting improvements in barrel accuracy and swing strength.

A practical, experience-driven guide drawing from your extensive coaching background, including time at Tallahassee Community College and work with elite players like Brian Cox (All-American at FSU, later signed by the Braves) and Ryan Freel (nearly a decade in MLB).

The book compiles the drills, approaches, techniques, strategies, and methods you've used to help hitters advance through youth, high school, college, and pro levels. It focuses on building elite barrel control, accuracy, swing strength, and real-game performance—emphasizing fundamentals that translate from practice to live competition, rather than overcomplicated mechanics or cage-only illusions.

Designed for players, parents, and coaches seeking independence in development, it's a no-nonsense collection of proven tools to progress to the next level.
