I'd even say take heat off the 1st serve to get that percentage up. he's strong enough at the baseline that not racking up aces shouldn't be a huge disadvantage. once he starts feeling good around the 70% first in range, then add a couple MPH back as long as the feel is still there.
I remember even Pistol Pete would back off a bit if he wasn't liking his %, so I don't get why these kids keep trying to blast the ball the exact same way and expect things to fix themselves.
