You get one shot with him. Don't fire too early and put pressure on him. It's his game. I'm guessing your son is just hitting the full size field. Give him time to adjust. At 13U the distances are a big adjustment. At 14U the speed of the game increases and makes 13U look like slow motion. Our 14U team just turned 15U over Labor Day even though the kids are still fourteen.

We just played in a 17U tournment and went 2-2. Even though we competed well the difference in the speed of the game is obvious. Every pitcher we faced would have been the ace of any 14U team we faced this summer. The kids handled the velocity. The big difference was the quality of the breaking stuff. To quote one of our kids walking back to the bench, "Holy ****! That was nasty!"

You can have more than one shot without another boy. I have a daughter playing college softball.
