I simply wondered what methods of off-season workouts (or rest) worked for your son.

I can tell you that prolonged periods of inactivity, "resting the arm" have quickly rusted mechanics and eroded velocity. The most constant periods of good velocity and command to start the season were preceded by consistant long toss, "dry work" and lots throwing in scrimmage. The best velocity was at the end of the year, as TPM says.

I wonder about the prolonged periods of rest prescribed by some and their possible negative effect, especially for the smooth non-max effort throwers.
