Chances are, when he gets to two strikes he is trying too hard to put the pitch either by the batter or exactly where he wants it. He needs to remain just as relaxed with two strikes as when he is pitching with an 0-0 count. It's crucial to keep the ball out of the middle of the plate with 2 strikes, but also to not be too fine as well- remember, the batter is defensive and you don't have to be quite as perfect. He should stay relaxed with his body and aggressive with his mind. The "pitchers' homework" category in my site is most of the stuff I do and recommend every pitcher do regularly. The more he can do from that list, the better off he will be. Strengthening is great, but don't forget the flexibility - it's just as important to preventing injury and improving performance. 84 as a 15 year old is excellent, so hopefully he can stay personally motivated to continue to get better and reach for that scholarship.

I have a 15 year old son who has pitched on and off since little league. He is known for his power hitting, but recently he went to a hitting/pitching camp at a local university and they clocked him at 83 and 84. He'll be 16 this July. His high school baseball coach noticed the changes from last year to now in his pitching and brought him up to Varsity for a scrimmage. Well he didn't do so good as far as his consistency. He would get 2 strikes on the batter, but couldn't follow through with the 3rd stike. Just wondering if you have any suggestions for consistency? Love your site, and I printed out your 14 step arm and shoulder exercise circuit, he has been doing it ever since I showed it to him. I would appreciate any feed back you may have.

He is in 10th grade at Chapelgate Christian. He is currently working out with Dave Fletcher with catching lessons. Can you tell me what you charge for your strength and condition program and the best way of going about evaluating him and establishing a program specifically for him.
