All of our LHPs in college threw BP FBs. In FB counts, we would throw a BP fastball...about 3-4 mph slower to induce a GB.

On our little LHP, with his arm slot (on a normal FB), his fingers point roughly at a 45 degree angle on the ball (relative to the ground). We have taught him to take a few mphs off (without changing his arm speed) by slightly keep his fingers more on top of the ball. We work with him on getting more armside run by finger positioning.

It has paid off...this past year, in 62 games, our 11U team turned 49 double plays.
