The development of ta child is grouped into four stages:.Development proceeds in a cephalocaudal direction, development proceeds proximal and distal, Development proceed medial to lateral, Development proceeds up agaisnt gravity. (Machin, 2016). The subject was able to perfom proximal and distal movements by throwing the baseball to dad and was also able to swing by himself without any help. This type of movement will fall under Development proceeds proximal to distal stated by Gesell. (Machin, 2016). Although the subject could not throw the ball as far as someone bigger then him, it showed that he had endurance in his upper extremities due to movements he was able to do with his arms while the game was going on. Gessell also believe that our body growth had to do with how well we are able to mature, He played with his father and he knew how to set up the game and how to play through and that showed some what of maturity.

According to vgotsky’s theory of zone of proximal development,, he stated that there were four different types of development. It begins when the child is learning about the activity and when the activity is acquired.(vgotsky 's,2016). The subject was able to play the baseball game and time remember many things because he had already practiced that skilled and acquired it so it became automatic for him. Another theory that applies to the subject would be Jean Piaget’s. According to Piaget he believed we have schemas, adaption processes, and stages of development. The subject showed to know what baseball was all about it and he able to interpret to play with just dad instead of his teammates that would be adapting himself to the new situation.
