I wanted to post an update on my son's progress since implementing some of the recommendations from some of the contributors on this site. Several of you recommended taking a look at my son's "hands break" - well, it appears that you were right on the mark. After just a little attention to ensuring that the ball is taken out the glove with fingers on top and thumb down (or towards thigh) during the hands break, my son is now consistently staying on top of the ball at release. It has made a tremendous difference in his delivery and velocity. I am very appreciative to everyone here for their advice. Thank you very much and best wishes for a fantastic season.
