How to help my 14yo improve his game

We live abroad - no baseball here. And I’ve got a 14yo who, by all accounts, has an unnaturally good arm on him. He is baseball mad, but more playing than watching (he has ADHD, so watching any sport tends to not be for him… he’d rather be playing.)

He does play on the local team, often with the adults, but there’s not much competition and that causes a lot of frustration for him. He’s at the point now where he actually wants to practice and train alone - just to see how good he can actually get. He’s only been playing for 2 years, pitching for less than 1 - and his natural talent is constantly commented on so I don't think this is just me being a doting mother 🥴

What are good things for him to work on? Any training stuff actually worth buying? Or any DIY/low-tech options to try him with? I want to encourage him, because I see his passion. But I haven’t a clue what to tell him! (For context, I’m British - so my baseball knowledge is next to nothing 😂)

Thanks in advance!
