Help. Need tips on strengthening def. arm./non-pitcher

2013 Dad100+ posts

Son is 15 and was recently clocked from outfield with a high of 77 with an average of 74 (approx 8 throws). He is 5'7" 150. Any advice on upping the velo. Long toss, weights? I anticipate he will gain strength as he gets older, but I don't know how much. Should I be concerned? Could he hit 85 by 2013? Radar gun was at about 45 degrees (not sure if it matters). Thanks for your help.
