I just saw the posts. Nobody is teaching him how to do this. He just started doing it on his own. I am sure that I am not describing it real well and he only throws it at 80%, around 60 or so. It is more like a scare the heck out of the batter kind of pitch and he only does it a couple of times a game. And there isn't any surprise involved. You can see it coming a mile away. But it sure keeps kids from digging in too tightly. If he is serious about throwing it harder or more often, then we will get a pro coach to show him how to do it. I don't think an 80% throw will hurt him. If you guys think different let me know. I can kill it easy enough but at this time he thinks it is fun and he is only 13. He can get serious in HS.
