Explanation:

I will ask the parents why don't they want their son to know about his illness. If the parents are concerned about how he'll react or even his after-math (although he is already sick).  If it about his maturity, before you tell him

you should consult with my hospital's ethic/legal counsel before you do, just to decrease personal liability.

Does it make sense?

We might conclude that Joe is more Muscular.

If we're talking about the amount of the hits , it simply come down to technique and concentration.

But if we're talking about distance ( especially if there is a huge difference) It's very likely that it because of the difference in strength. All professional baseball player have a solid upperbody and core strength
