What I am trying to say is put away the gun and work on learning how to pitch, not how fast can you throw. Follow proper conditioning, throwing program, work on solid mechanics and if it's there, it will come, sometimes creeps up on you without even noticing.
I can understand PG's reasoning, but this past spring I was at a game where the dad had the gun out on every pitch, even calling out to son what he was throwing, man, I said to myself, this is ridiculous.
Why the need to gun in the bullpen? Can someone explain?
JMoff, while a pitcher is developing velocity, inconsistancy is not uncommon for LHP or RHP. My son took a jump in college, and lost command for awhile, then settled down, then another jump in pro ball, lost command, then found his way. Don't stress about it, he's young, you'll see peaks and valleys, plenty of them, trust me on that.
