Paul O’Neill and Jack Curry have hit it out of the park with their new book Swing and a hit. It’s a must-read for the young players that dream of getting to the big leagues.

The message of having great talent yet still being insecure about Paul’s journey is great because it’s a normal feeling when you’re a kid in that situation.
