Texan & Infield are on the money. We have all seen the guys who throw 90+ and can't hit the zone. Scouts do go after velocity. I have seen my son go to MLB camps ahd if he isn't hitting atleast 84 they show no interest. When he is at 83-84 they are all over him. Now that is far from 90 but with the tall skinny frame and mound presence he has garnered some interest. If he dosen't add 5-6mph he has a very slom chance of being signed.
Your son should mix in the 4 seam to get that extra couple MPH. It will not compromise his ability to get batters out if he mixes it in properly. I am surprised he doesn't use it already.
