Of all the stuff to work on with respect to pitching, this is way into the weeds.

I agree! A coach in your area is preaching they can increase the students speed by at least 2 mph. I personally think it's hard to tell if anything helps increase speed at 12 other than growing and throwing. I'm sure somethings are better than others but hard to prove.
Might get better results if you teach your catcher to ask the batter as they step into the box whether they inhale or exhale on the load..... ;-)
Athletes often need to remember to breath properly in any sport, spending time on this can help in many scenarios.We had a pitching coach once that tried to get girls to stop it. His reasoning was not that it wasn't "ladylike" but rather he felt it wasted too much energy over the course of a game. I didn't agree.
