Does he throw or bowls properly?

he bowls properly.The point to note when spotting a chuck er is that his arm must be straight at the point of delivery.when i say straight i mean the wrist , elbow and shoulder must be in a straight line drawn above the shoulder.if u see malingas action u see that he maintains a straight line.Yes his action is a bit freaky ,but such bowlers have always existed in cricket(Paul Adams Of SA).

Some semi-random thoughts...\n\n1. He sounds pretty normal for 5.\n\n2. Part of the problem MIGHT be some form of ADD, and I hate saying that since it is so often used almost as a cop-out. \n\n3. You focus on baseball/sports... how is he academically, in science or reading, in nature identification, musically, etc.? Wanting to be good at something we suck at is human nature- but if we really are good at other things, it is not a big deal.\n\n4. Kind of related to #3- what IS he good at? If not baseball, maybe soccer, or basketball? Most of us are really only decent in a few basic things- tall, skinny people tend to better at basketball than short, stocky wrestler types and so forth.\n\n5. Maybe his issue is that he is not so much a 'team' kinda person. Maybe some smaller group or private stuff would be better? Running, most track and field stuff, etc.\n\n\n\nI might make a list of stuff he has tried, and then look at each point and see if you can figure out what he liked and did not like about each. See if there are any common threads you can work with.

To swing the ball, one side of the ball should be made shinier, by rubbing on a smooth surface, ie your thigh, and the other side left dull. The ball should be gripped either side of the seem with the middle and index fingers. If the ball is bowled down straight along the seem then the diffence in friction on the dull and shiny sides should make the ball swing toward the dull side.\nOff spin is performed by gripping the ball with fingers along the seem and the thumb in opposition. The ball should be given a higher, slower trajectory and on release the hand turned as if opening/closing a jar. The more twist/whip applied the more the ball will turn on impact with the pitch. The ball should spin toward the arm used to ball.\nLeg spin produces a greater degree of spin, but is more difficult to maintain accuracy. The ball should be gripped in the fleshy part of the palm, opposite side to the thumb. As the arm comes over, the ball should be released from the back of the hand, so that it passes over the hand in transit. Again the more twist/whip the greater amount of spin produced. The ball should turn away from the direction of the arm used to bowl.

Jake can be great as long as the play calling allows him to sit back there and throw the ball all day long.  As you saw in the Indy game he did very well...he had his best game of the year.  Sure makes you wonder why they're so conservative w/him all the time.  Turn him loose!

He will continue to get better.  Remember he hasn't started many games.  Once he gets 2 full seasons under his belt, watch out.  It took Peyton Manning a few seasons to finally blossom.

This  is so funny because I feel the same.  He doesn't behave at all.  He does whine all the time.  I know for a fact he teaches small children to do alot of the things he does.  There is a particular episode where he dumps a bag of flour on the living room rug.  My daughter's child took a bag of flour and did the exact same thing.  I completely agree with you.

Practice with him. My dad starting teaching me how to play baseball as soon as I could walk. Right now I'm 13, I've played in two national tournaments and I am going to play in two more this year. My team is one of the best in Virginia, and its all because I started early. Also, I got a good hitting coach(rotational swing, never weight shifting. There are many people out there against rotational hitting, but its the best). But don't play with him so much that he gets burned out and bored of the game. That has happened to some of my friends and they were very talented. Also make sure he stays in shape.

You are realistic! If your son is a tosser, put him in a cheerleaders uniform. Tell him he blows @ throwing, and if he is such a mama's boy that he can't throw a ball, he should take up a real sport, like cheering, or waterboy!

Wait, so you are saying he is moving 60mph, and he throws 60mph in the direction he was coming from?  If you sum the velocities you get zero; the ball would drop straight down (from your point of view).  To him, it would appear to be moving at 60mph.\n\nIf he simply dropped the ball, it would be moving at 60mph alongside him.  To him, it would look like it were falling straight down.  You can test this; toss a ball straight up in a moving vehicle - as long as you do not turn a corner or change speed, the ball will move straight up and come back down.\n\nObviously wind resistance at 60mph is significant, but since you said it was in a vacuum, there is no wind.  If you tried tossing a ball up in a convertible with the roof open, it would decelerate a bit.

I fully agree with you.  He is one of the best batsman with solid technique and defence in West Indies Team.  He is a perfect gentleman too.

Haha, yeah I know..! It looks like a catapult just "springs" the ball from his hands or something..! I guess you go with what works though...! As LONG as it works...! Haha
