Word of caution at this age / transition. Prime conditions for arm overuse injury.

Varying levels of maturity. Transitioning to longer throws on the big field. Entering first years of school ball. Paired with travel & possible rec ball this is gross overload of throwing and many come up lame here as a result. Especially mound guys. Be careful and keep tabs on throwing volume.  

Very true!  People like other parents, coaches, and even your son may look at you funny, but shutdowns are vital to my sons arm care.  Be firm!!!!

Yes, baseball is fun but you need to have set dates on when his shutdown is and STICK TO IT!
