    1. keep him lefty it limits his stuff to an extent on the infield but lwftys usually get pitching time have him throw to you in the yard when doing this have him hold the ball all the way back and up on the end of his finger tips also have him try differnt grips on the seams on the ball since he is a lefty the ball naturally moves if you show him this it may spark an interst in stayin lefty also show him how to drag bunt something a righty cant really do when having throw the ball make sure he is throwing prprerly no breaking stuff hes to young of that just try the differnt grips and moving of the ball in his hand i think hell like that
