The Baseball Observer Feb 2015 vol 1 | Page 3

Welcome to the first issue of The Baseball Observer. This is a free digital publication to all baseball coaches, players and parents. There will be eight issues a year. After surveying many coaches, we have put together a publication that addresses what information is wanted in a baseball publication – injury information, training, drills, player and coach interviews, team information, recruiting, editorials and more. Articles are written by coaches, physicians, players, etc. With each new issue the publication will add even more relevant information. The one special aspect of the publication is the COLLEGE BASEBALL DIRECTORY* in the back – and will be in every issue. This directory is by state and every college baseball program in each state and what conference they are in. All are hotlinked directly to their baseball specific web page. All teams in the NCAA (DI, DII, DIII, the NJCAA (DI, DII, DIII), NAIA, NWAC and the CCCAA. As we continue to grow, more directories will be added. Feel free to forward on to players, parents and other coaches to read. If you have any information would like to see in the publication, stories, interviews, training tips or just want to contact us, please email to: [email protected]. Thanks, The Baseball Observer *The College Baseball Directory is monitored. All links are good at the point of publication. Some programs change their baseball website link/ url during the season. We will make every attempt to update those baseball program links that change their baseball specific website url. If you find a link that doesn’t work, please contact us so we may update it for the next publication. You may email us at [email protected]
