I appreciate all of the advice. He definitely mainly throws a 4-seam fastball. He's tried to throw a two-seam, but it really doesn't move much. Again, I'm thinking it has to do with his trouble with pronation. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't try to work on that.

Sounds like most of the advice here is leading him to some type of changeup, with whatever grip he feels most comfortable and can throw the best. I'll see if he can do a little experimentation.

I'll also see if he can experiment with some type of 2-seam FB and try to get something that moves a bit. If he can make that happen, it would be very helpful to allow him to not be stuck throwing off-speed the majority of the time.

Thanks everyone.
