Welcome to another edition of the BBA Linkfest where we travel around the world to our general chapter members and catch up on some great reading.

Let's start with some of our newest chapter members. Welcome and great to have you.
Hit More Line Drives bills itself as your one stop source for hitting instruction. And true to its mission statement, the site is chock full of tasty instructional information. But they also interview young players like in this post with one of the top Texas high school prospects.
Payoff Pitch is a promising site that gives really great breakdowns of things. For example, check out their breakdown of the Dodger's huge deal with the Red Sox.
