I sure wish I had another son mom. I sure would love to do it all over again with another one. I read this thread again and couldnt help but notice the steady improvement in my sons times over the last four years. Mainly due to him getting quicker and better mechanics behind the plate. And of course every year his arm strength has improved. The biggest thing is probaly his ability to put himself in a good throwing posistion by the way he receives the baseball. Alot of it is just experience and not rushing. He used to go get the baseball a bit when he heard runner or saw the runner going. He learned to let the ball get to him and catch it deep and not rush. But the bottom line is its an ongoing process where you never get satisfied and always work to improve.
