Curious... what is the primary change in his delivery? is the control issue attributed mostly to getting comfortable with the changes or something else?

I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell you in detail, but my son says he has changed the way he brings his arm back and has been working on various things to use his lower half more. Son says he was having trouble with timing after the changes (and IMO just with changing old habits). His delivery doesn't look very different to my untrained eye, but the ball definitely is coming out his hand quite a bit faster than last summer. Several coaches had described the boy in prior years as "raw" but with potential. So here's one data point to suggest good coaching can increase velo substantially.
