Anyone have experience with a Pitcher who has double jointed elbows?

Turns out my 2022 RHP is double jointed in the elbows (hypermobility). Searched, but we can't find much out there on it...

He is able to get into 180 degree layback (external rotation). But is it possible that the same laxity in the elbow joint that allows this very good layback also preventing him from generating "sufficient elbow tendon elasticity or tightness", for lack of a better word, that is required to then propel the throwing hand to achieve throwing velocity?

He has been at the same Velocity for some time now and we have tried many many things to increase it without much success.

Hope I am explaining ok...
