Placing a pitcher on a solid conditioning, nutritional and work out program, long toss as well (where you spend more time doing that than just playing to get better) is not babying pitchers. It's preparing them for what is to come later on. You think these guys throw harder because someone just told them to throw harder? You ever wonder why some HS, college and pro players spend endless hours in the gym? They don't do it because they learn more about throwing better pitches.

You changed things you have posted before, you have stated when your son is having trouble on the mound you have told him to throw harder, now it's just the end of a BP session, not understanding which it is? No problem with telling them to end a session with a little more push, their last one of two pitches, but again, that's not what you have posted in teh past.

BTW, babies learn to crawl before the walk, right?
