Your son has a great arm. That is an understatement. Congrats! I have had some great arms come through my hs program over the years. We have been very fortunate in that respect. Just to give you and idea of how they progressed.

There have been more. The common thread in all of the guys that came in with above average arms that left with outstanding arms and the ability to pitch at a high level was their work ethic in the off season. Make sure your son continues to work very hard on his mechanics. Works very hard in the off season to improve on his conditioning , core strength , arm strength etc. Make sure he doesnt get over used because this can happen to a kid with an outstanding arm.

The future looks bright for your son. I look forward to keeping up with him and his progress. Good luck
