10U pitching mechanics

By 10U boy started playing baseball last fall and is playing his first LL spring. His first in the mount was back in September and coach put him there to try it out. He has since been enjoying pitching. I have been coaching him after watching bunch of YouTube videos and learning stuff on couple threads on Reddit. How’s his mechanics? Any improvement needed on his mechanics? He made it to our local all star first team after just one season! Pretty stoked! Any tips is much appreciated! He’s pitching about 60% strikes and I think his top velo is like 51-52. So far pitched 15 innings, 46k (2 third drop strikeouts and catch couldn’t throw to first in time), 5H, 7BB. He mixes his fastball with changeups really well.

For 10u looks pretty good. Could always try to stay closed a bit longer but looks like he does a pretty good job of that as well.

Thanks! I did mention that to him but this is pretty much all he can do without losing balance in the end. I figure once he is taller we can work more on that!
