I love the story and I always find this card interesting to hear of this developing seemingly late.

As a baseball player (the only sport I was fairly good at) for my youth and teens until a shoulder injury (add Al Bundy story here). It is an odd thought as I learned as an elementary kid that I could only get a fast and accurate throw with a fork finger position. I have always done it and I rotated between third and catcher my entire time throwing a fork always. Drove any new coaches crazy until they saw it was decent, I can't throw worth a lick any other way.
