Everybody has different ideas on how to improve arm strength. All three of my kids were big on long toss and Jaeger bands. It worked for them, and it is easy to find and adjust a tailored program that works for them. Flexible arms and a strong core and legs are key.

Ichiro is a great example. Also, I had the opportunity and pleasure to watch Jackie Bradley Jr workout and practice CF to Homeplate throws when he was playing travel baseball at about your son's age. He's not that much bigger than your son. Yes, he has God-given talents but he worked extremely hard at it. He was clocked over 100mph from the outfield at a showcase I attended. At the time, my jaw dropped as I'd never seen anything like it. Check out some JBJr throwing videos on YouTube too. Bottom line is to keep working hard to develop throwing, running and hitting skills for the next level.
