At this point, it seems as though your son is fine. From your description he has nothing to worry about. As for development in different players, it happens at different times. I know people who were 5'9" and throwing 75 mph. at the age of 12 and are still 5'9" and throwing low-80's and they are seniors in high school. I myself began development from 7th to 8th grade (I am now in 10th). In 7th grade I threw maybe low-60's, 8th I threw low-70's. Now I pop 80, and have just started to lift weights (I am a lefty pitcher). I am not aware of the size of your son or where he is in delevopment, but from my past experiences, if your son continues to hit his spots and miz the ball in and out, up and down and changes speeds, he'll do just fine.
