Reply to "Frustration in Finding the Strike Zone"

I'll go a different route.  I'd say to not overdo it and preach patience.  Baseball is a marathon and not a sprint.  If your kid grew a ton in a year, he needs time to "grow into his body".  Many kids I know who were very good HS pitchers had control issues immediately after they grew a lot.  A year later, they seemed to be fine.  Everything you work into your kid becomes "out of date" when he grows a bit more.  Also, if he is growing a ton, overuse could become a bigger threat due to potential growth plate strains.  As I said, I'd preach patience, which is easier said than done.
