Reply to "Frustration in Finding the Strike Zone"

TeribleBP: Usually , with his fastball, he mostly misses down and away. If he tries a new grip or a new pitch, it can be all over the place. He seems to be getting better than he was 6 months ago when he was missing high and away-alot( when he was dipping his elbow).  At 13 what ratio of strikes to balls, is typical. 

I think one issue is he LOVES to throw as hard as he can. i'm trying to get him to slow down just a little.  

It’s tough to say what a good ratio is at that age. I would set small goals for him and not focus on what other kids can do. 

One drill my son does when he is pulling low and away is a rocker drill. I’ll usually set up between 45-50’. After 10-15 he is usually able to correct himself and dial in. Then he’ll throw a few off the mound. If that’s good I’ll move back to 60
