Pitching mechanics-glove side

Son (13U) has pitching motion where he leaves the glove arm just hanging as he finishes and never brings the glove in (and the throwing arm just runs into it at the end). So I looked at some slow motion of MLB pitchers how they look in terms of glove tuck.
Looks like Shohei and Verlander bring the glove in early so that the glove is already on the chest as the torso tilts forward. DeGrom leaves the glove hanging by the waist as he tilts forward but brings it in last second- well after the ball is gone-just in time for the throwing arm to clear under the glove-side arm.
Is this just matter of personal preference or style difference, or is there a functional difference how or when you bring the glove in? Which one is considered better (if it makes difference at all)

Ajax youth system

Ajax academy has produced some amazing players-arguably the best youth system. But the best players never spent their PEAK years at the club. Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, DeBoers, Davids, Seedorf, Van de Vaart, Sneijder, DeJong, etc etc. What if they could have kept all those players instead of selling them? How much better would they have been? Could they won even more trophies, especially European Champions League?

If Shohei saw that he was much closer to 1B than Freddie, could he have just rushed back and touched 1B? In that case, would he be safe and Freddie out and avoid double play, thus the tying run scores? Or would that count as two runners occupying same base and therefore still end up with double play?

▲ 1 r/LAX

The last two times we went to LAX there were surprises for us in terms of parking.

  1. forget the lot number but went to get in through the upper level but the entrance was closed due to construction. So the guard told us go in to the adjacent lot upper level, drive all the way down and exit. Go around the horseshoe and come into the lower entrance.

  2. went into lower entrance of lot 3 because we wanted to park in the EV space on first floor. But the EV section was closed off due to construction. Try to go to the third floor EV space but some driveways were closed off and somehow got forced into the exit lane. Went out and around the horseshoe , came back and made it up to third floor.

Both instances , we made the flight because we got there three hours before the flight. But where do I look up before I get there the status of these parking lots and any closures?
