The best books out there?

[CoachW]

I received quite a bit on my amazon gift card for Christmas and I'm looking for the best coaching baseball books out there. I know about many of the hitting ones. Science of Hitting, Epstein, and others, what about pitching books, catching books and infield/outfield books??? Also, what about running a HS program. The only book I own right now is Ron Polks Playbook.
I would really appreciate and advice on the best books out there.

Thank you,
Coach W

Here is what I think is a pretty solid list to get you started:

Baseball Playbook (The Baseball Bible)
Human Kinetics Books (ABCA books)
Art and Science of Pitching (Tom House)
Fastball Fitness (Tom House)
The Art of Pitching (Bagonzi)
Heads Up Baseball (Mental Game)

For coaching/leadership books, anything from Wooden, Lombardi, Shula, Dean Smith, and Coach K are great for anyones library. I have recently read quite a few books on the management and leadership of the New England Patriots which have been very good as well.
