My daughter (softball) was awkward running after growing from 5’2” to 5’10” from one season to the next. She went to Speed Camp at a college track powerhouse. Getting her running straightened out drastically improved her speed.
My son was always one of the fastest kids. After freshman year of high school I sent him to a training facility with focus on how to run a timed sixty properly.
The first thing to do is get strong in the legs. While it won’t change speed learn how to read pitchers for jump. Don’t compare your son to his teammates. Compare him to kids with college potential.

Thanks, my son is definitely in the latter category. How did you find the training facility, if you don't mind me asking?

The ones Google pulls up near me are just a couple ordinary gyms (One Life Fitness) that don't really seem geared to this kind of specialized training, and also a website called CoachUp that looks like it matches you with people who've signed up to be coaches.
