Jack, I used to throw to my son (soon to be 11) until he almost took my head off, now he's afraid he may hurt me....& so am I!! I used to stand in the batter's box so he could practice pitching too! -- but, he won't throw hard a me.

What do you suggest? I always threw a baseball (like a girl) to him. Would a wiffle ball help? or soft toss? He'd wallop a tennis ball at me, so I don't think that would be a good idea. Dad's always working late during the week, so he can't help and it's up to mom!

P.S. -- you sound like a great coach!!
