Just out of curiousity, was stride length something the Cards encouraged your son to work on? (My apologies if you already addressed this).

I am not sure of your point, but my opinion is good mechanics, lengthening stride, following a good toss program with bandwork, lots of lower body and core work, great off season conditioning, etc. is what makes a good pitcher a better one, not necessarily tossing the ball 300 feet.
