Your son was told to throw a fourseam fastball when he throws from shortstop Do the major league players do this?

Yes, when they can. Generally, youth coaches will show players how to throw with four seams because it is the most accurate way to throw a Baseball with high velocity. Once a player has played a while (measured in years, not seasons) he should focus more on 'grabbing a seam' when throwing between positions to maximize velocity and accuracy while getting rid of the ball as quickly as possible.
