2 or 4 seam? I think a low spin 4 seamer is never good.
however I would not try to tinker with that yet and Focus on developing command and Velo.
So, a serious question because, after 35 years of coaching I still don't have an answer; how do you "develop" command?
C'mon, you just tell the kid to throw strikes.
Works every time.
My wife seems to think so.
Thought cloud - "Mom, what the heck do you think I was trying to do?"

Hah! My kid hooked up early in the fall with a pretty well known team for a showcase. He started the game by walking the first two batters and the coach yells out at him, "You're overthrowing! Slow it down and just throw strikes." I'm thinking, "Coach, do you not see those 25 guys standing behind the backstop with radar guns? Those guns aren't for measuring accuracy."
