I started playing catch with one grandson at 3 using any kind of ball at hand.
Now 7 he plays machine pitch.
When he was 5 I got 75 tennis balls on ebay and pitched to him. He used an aluminum bat. He loves to hit and with that many balls you don't have to stop and pick them up.
At 6 we got a bucket full of the soft T balls and did the same thing.
We are lucky in Davidson to have, a couple of miles away, an indoor teaching facility called Fungo. The owner is a young guy with miner league and coaching background and loves kids. His instruction was invaluable in teaching how to hit and throw. We started with him at 3 years old.
Look in your area for a teaching facility. Also if you are serious about him learning the game don't be afraid to switch teams in t ball to get the best coach.
Make it fun.
