High Heat in PW10

Publisher's Weekly named High Heat one of its Top 10 sports titles for this spring. Here's the blurb from PW:
For the hard stuff, Tim Wendel's High Heat: The Secret History of the Fastball and the Improbable Search for the Fastest Pitcher of All Time might suffice. It's as much about hard science as putting mustard on the ball. David Maraniss calls it "brilliantly executed."
To the left is the new cover for the trade paperback edition, due out in March.

Publisher's Weekly review

“[Wendel] presents a satisfying search for the ultimate fastball pitcher, with a result that's just conclusive enough…while leaving plenty of room for baseball die-hards' second-favorite sport: debating other fans.”—Publishers Weekly, April 12, 2010
