Arm Strength

bigChapMember

My son is 15 yrs old and a sophomore. He plays both varisty and JV.

His strengths, as accessed by his coach, are:
Strong catcher's mentality
Superior catching/blocking ability
Very quick feet
physically strong

weakness:
lacks arm strength-pop time is avg 2.3-2.4

He is 6'1" and 155 lbs (tall and thin, but muscular)
I believe he will grow to about 6'3" to 6'4".

My question is this: Is there a method/exercise we can work on to increase his arm strength? I've been told that tall, lanky kids develop their arm strength later but I don't want to wait on him to simply mature if there is some way to increase his throwing speed now.

I would appreciate your help!

Thanks
