Update:
He pitched 2 2/3 last week. I was too busy to write anything down, but he only gave up 2 runs, and I think he struck out 5 or 6 and walked 2. Got a pop up back to him. He had a few good defensive plays behind him too.
2 days ago, he kept asking me if he could throw from the wind up, so I told him to go ahead. He's still throwing a lot of strikes and I noticed that he throws harder from the wind up. He pitches tomorrow and I told him to go ahead with it unless he can't throw strikes. Go back to the stretch if he starts getting in trouble.
He's been working on stepping straight and has made improvements on that...
I'm proud of him. He puts his work in and it shows. I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging like he's the next Nolan Ryan..... I'm just happy that he's learning the life lesson that hard work will pay off, and he's having some success and fun with it.
He's having a bit of a struggle with hitting lately... I'm scratching my head on that one....
Thanks for all the help and advice.
