Go to any sporting goods store (Sports Authority, etc, or one of the local stores that supports this site) and purchase a pitcher's toe. It is basically a molded rubber fitting that covers that part of the toe that drags when a player pitches. Designed for exactly the problem you're having. Make sure you get one for the correct shoe (left or right) based on which toe drags (based on which arm your kid throws with). Google "Pitchers Toe" and you'll immediately find what I'm describing.
Sports Authority used to have cleat insurance for $5.00. Buy a pair of cleats and pay the extra money for the insurance. I also have a pitcher(13u now)and he got a new pair(Free)of cleats almost every year about 2/3 of the way through the season due to toe wear. Still had to buy new ones every year because he out grew the last ones but we were basically getting two for one deals. The replacement cleats have to be in the same size as the last. "Pitchers Toe" works but still had the wear on the cleats. For my money the insurance was cheaper and a better deal.
The product your coach is talking about is called Tuff Toe, or Tuff Toe Pro. It works pretty good and have used it a couple of times on my son's cleats. You can purchase it at larger sporting goods stores or online.
YARD: can this tuff toe repair an existing hole in the pitchers toe area or does it pre-strengthen the area so there is no hole ever made ?

Ive used it both ways as long as the hole was not too large
