BOF said....After spending a lot of years working with my son and being around a lot of pitchers I am of the opinion that arm speed is one of God's gifts. Some have and some don't. If you have it from the OF - then you will have it from the mound. (with some mechanics help)

I agree. Furthermore, I think if Hunter10's son has thrown 93 from the outfield he has the raw tools to throw 93 from the mound, BUT (big but) throwing is not pitching. Pitching mechanics don't have a small role in this, pitching mechanics have a huge role in whether he will be able to do it and be effective. If it weren't the case, we'd see alot of catchers or Hunter Pence (I cringe when I watch that man throw) on the mound.
