Pitching coach for 17 year old in SE Texas Area

[flyfisher]

Looking for a pitching coach to improve a seasoned 17 year old pitcher with good mechanics, currently throws 3 pitches well (84 mph fast ball, 69 mph curveball and solid change up) and working on improving slider.  Needs help with adding a couple more pitches to his portfolio and needs to get more velocity.

Any suggestions?

I will see if we can find you one in Barbers Hill....I doubt Coach David Denny would object :D

Allen Harrington, works out of Athletes in mid-county. Pitched for the padres,  his younger brother is pitching for Lamar. Allen is a class act my son has gone to Green and a few others, we have had the best results with Allen.

You really don't need more pitches. If you can command 3 good pitches, you will be just fine. Would a fourth help, sure, but it's not necessary. If I were you I would concentrate on his velocity, and for that I would say Sam Moore.

Agreed about velocity is most important on fb.

Hit the weight room and have a defined routine to strenghten core, legs and upper body. 

This is important esp during off season for a pitcher.  Have a defined plan and stick to it.
