Reply to "Long toss vs. actual pitching velocity"

My son did a lot of long toss starting when he was probably 10 years old. He was a small kid by HS pitching standards (5-9, maybe 145 the first time he hit 90 on the mound). He attributes a lot of his velo to long toss as he never really had a HS pitching coach....and hadn't seen a PC for a lesson since he was 13 or 14. He also never touched a weight until he got to college. He got to college and one day the guys were trying to throw balls over the LF fence from behind the plate. He didn't clear it, but was the only one to hit the fence on the fly lol.
