Don't know about Doughnut man's kid, mine is around 5'9", 170. He can pitch. In fact his control has always been his forte. Also has a good change and a good breaking ball. He will throw either in any count. I agree, velocity is important, but control is what it is all about. I have seen kids at PG events who throw over 90, but to the backstop. They will get looks as well because of their velocity, but I have always stressed control and hitting your spots to my son. He knows no matter how hard you throw, hitters can catch up to it. You better put it where you want and change speeds to be effective at the higher levels.
