In this episode of The Baseball Book Club , we throw some heat with Chapter 2 of Tyler Kepner's K: A History of Baseball in 10 Pitches , exploring how the fastball became baseball's defining pitch and why every great pitcher starts there. Then we're joined by author David Bohmer , whose biography of Commissioner Ford Frick examines one of the most influential figures in baseball history. From overseeing the game during an era of tremendous change to navigating controversies that still spark debate today, Bohmer helps us better understand the man behind the office and the legacy he left on Major League Baseball.
