Baseball fans come in all shapes and sizes. My very own fiancée was once just a casual baseball observer with little knowledge of the intricacies of the game. Now, after more than 5 years of being together, she is a BASEBALL FANATIC! I ask her when the games are. I ask her who is pitching. It's fantastic!

First of all, I don't know what to expect. Second, it's a challenge to create a lesson plan where to start, how long, what topics & subtopics to include without being accused of dumbing down or overwhelming the viewer/student.

I found the course ok but no better than looking on ine and working through utube videos.. It was obvious that especially in the stats section, the content was read and interpreted ad-lib. I obviously dont know since i wasnt with the instructor, but i thught he was getting tired in places and carried on which meant it was hard to understand at times. A basic course carried out by someone with an average knowledge (hence it was free) and who should have spaced his time out instead of carrying on half alseep.. Sorry....

so far good, but could have been better with some simplistic explanation of how game starts, how players comes to bat as game goes on, all I mean is little practicality would have increased the impact of the course.

As far as the instructor's information and approach he did great. The only reason I knocked a star off is when something is labeled a bonus ...to me...that feels as if someone is saying 'you don't need this for the certificate, but you can have it if you want. However, clearly UDEMY won't give you a certificate of completion without it. So, I'm not sure what is up with that, but it's the only reason I dinged half a star off.

The course provides a comprehensive overview of just about everything to do with baseball. The course was a bit dry, however it is functional course to learn and understand baseball.
By Margaret Lovell on 2/26/2017
I'm a baseball fan, but still managed to learn a couple of new things, especially in the stats lectures. This is a comprehensive overview of what's involved in a baseball game and helps fans keep track of what's going on. I definitely recommend this course.

Would be better if it b rolled some actual game footage. But this a perfect intro for my kids and I to watch to introduce them to the game.
By Prem Vijay on 10/7/2016
Just moved to Canada and started following baseball. I'm an avid cricket fan and wanted to know more about this sport. Enjoying so far. Good work Phil :)

I knew nothing about baseball before starting the course and now I can easily watch a game and understand what is going on. Very easy to follow and instructive.
