Appreciate your feedback AD. I see that your profile says that you do some volunteer Asst. coaching. Would like to pick your brain a bit more if okay.
Hypothetical scenario:
Coach brings in a guy who is not great with command, but can hit the strike zone 3 out of 5 pitches. He's seen the guy throw 84-85. What does the coach do with this guy once he has him on campus? (Pitcher has a scholarship and is guaranteed a year. Not a bunch 'em and chunk 'em coach.) Does he look to reduce the guy down to a cruising speed that allows better command? Does he try to teach the guy to command 84-85? Something else?

I get the impression that you have a specific situation that you are dancing around so lets go to PM and get to the bottom of it.
