1. why 4 pitches? Work on two, then three and maybe four when he is in college. "location and change of speed". We work on 4 because he can control and execute 4....fastballs, 2-4 and changes speeds, curveball, change-up and splitter. the varisty coach said he locates better than anyone in the prgram. I believe the term he used was pinpoint.
2. "Play up". Pitch against players 2-3 three years older. This develops experience and knowledge and quickness. We have played up for years, and continue to do so, on a team that PG ranked 25th in nation as 16's we will play 17's and 18's this summer.
3. What region of the country do you live? Southeast, this year's summer season, involves, trips to Memphis, Atlanta, Alabama and a few college showcase tourney's.....
4. "Someone is always watching your son play, walk and talk. His attitude is very good, His JV coach tells him that the JV team is "his" team, he leads the JV in Runs Scored, RBI, ERA, has the lowest erro total.... he is the leader, just last night he came over from first base to clam the pitcher down who was really nervous....He really just needs to put on some weight and get his velo up, he would be what I would call the type of player that a college caoch would want, good player, gets better every year, great student, good attitude, not boastful, quiet..... not cocky...
