pitching and pitching and pitching is only way to strengthen your muscle but if you mean power pitching Nolan Ryan has a work out video out where he shows you tips and exercises. Nolan Ryan is the pitcher that helped make Randy Johnson good

I would look for a 13 inch Rawlings. Rawlings make great gloves and 13 inches is good for an outfielder especially in softball where the balls are big. Make sure you by a cream or something to break it in and make it soft and easy to squeez or else, like all gloves, it will be hard to use.

Batting Average Against.....a pitchers stat.\n\nMeans if a pitcher has a .220 BAA....all hitters he faces is hitting .220 against him.  .220 is pretty darn good.  \n\nMake sense?

Build up your leg strength. Many of the great power pitchers, such as Ryan, Clemens, Seaver, and Feller, all had strong legs to push off of. Have you ever seen a picture of Seaver pitching? He dropped to one knee and pushed off, he put all that energy behind the ball. Of course, it takes arm strength too, but get to the gym, and have someone show you how to do squats, and leg presses.

small quick peple usually use 32-39  ,most people use a 33-30, large hitters or just people that think they can hit really good 34-31

There is no real answer to this, but I'll give it a shot.\n\nFirst, practice - a lot!  When you do, work on keeping your weight on your back foot, transfering that weight forward with a minimal amount of stride.  Keep your hands back (ie don't lead the swing with your hands), start the swing from the bottom up.  What I mean here is transfer the weight from the back foot to the front, rotate the hips sligtly, then bring the bat through the strike zone with a short, compact swing (with a slight upper cut - do not exaggerate this), your head will be the last thing to pull through, allowing you to watch the ball hit the bat.\n\nThe key to slugging, isn't necessarily how big you are - though, increasing your size in a healthy way would be beneficial.  It's more about having a quick bat through the strike zone - the faster the bat, the harder you will hit the ball.  This does not equate to taking a HUGE swing - it's just not needed.\n\nFinally, get yourself playing on a field that has dimensions that are favourable to you.  If you are a lefty, a short right field porch is beneficial, and conversely, a righty will want a short porch in left.\n\nThat's it.  Simple right?  No, but hopefully this is helpful.

Evaluate your lineup and player attributes. Place the best contact hitters and speed runners near the top of the lineup and play small ball to score runs early. Be aggressive on the bases and try to steal often. Most pitchers won't expect it, or might make a bad throw to the base, either way you advance the runners. Teach the hitters to work the count and take pitches. Most pitchers will not get the ball over the plate everytime. You can get more walks and increase the pitch count on the opposition which will force them to go to the bullpen. Play the outfield deep so they can run toward the ball if it is hit shallow, it is much harder to run backwards and catch a pop fly. Teach pitchers two good pitches and make them stick with it. A decent breaking ball in would very difficult for most 16 yr old hitters to make contact with. Even if the breaking ball ends up in the dirt , they will swing. I could be more specific if you gave more detail on the team's weaknesses.

"Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched.  This means the average number of people the pitcher allows on base through a hit or walk per inning.  It is the best indicator (along with ERA) of how good a pitcher is, not wins.\n\nAnything below 1.000 is awesome.  Anything between 1.000 and 1.500 is very good.  Anything above that starts getting worse the higher you go up.\n\nImagine having a 2.000 WHIP.  This means that you allow at least 2 people on base per inning.  This translates into the possibililty of a lot of runs for the opposing team.

There's no easy answer without crunching a bunch of numbers. I can't find anything online that has an easy answer. Since most AL pitchers haven't batted since college or high school, then they don't fair so well. Even in the NL, good hitting pitchers are rare.  Jason Marquis is a good hitter. He hit .310 last year, .292 the year before, but only .179 this year. Mostly, when AL pitchers bat, it's an easy strike out, weak grounder or pop-up. Please take a look at the link below for each team. I don't time to compile all the numbers. Just click on the team name and then you can scan down to the bottom of the batting stats to find the pitchers' batting stats. Don't go down too far, it's not that far down. Have fun.

My favorite is an overhand sinker. Hold the ball with your pointer and middle finger on the top and your thumb on the bottom and the slots facing your palm. Throw the ball over hand with kind of a football throwing motion bring your two finger snapping over the top. The ball goes much faster than a curve or slider and has a sharp, late drop that fools most hitters. Best when thrown in on the hands. \n\nI also like the sidearm riser. Hold the ball like you would for a curve. Throw the ball with a big, sweeping submarine motion and the ball will rise and break across the plate.

if you can get pujos or arod that'd be great but I doubt someone will trade one of them for what you are offering. What you want to get all depends on what you need. Do you have homerun hitters, sb threats, an RBI guy? What kind of stats does your league keep?

Roger Clemens works on his legs a lot. If you're throwing that lightly you need to work on your legs.\n\nWHen you're pitching you maybe thinking, "I'm hardly using my legs at all".\n\nBut when Clemens pitches, he says his legs are "burning from the workout".\n\nIf you can add 10-20 MPH just from leg pushoff.\n\nYou'll be throwing 83-93 in no time.

structural kinesiology is what you're looking for. you want to look at the movements that take place in a pitch.\n\nTo maximize speed and strength you want to make a complex movement that maximizes body momentum.  In other words you want to twist the body and then kind of unravel in a movement that throws all the momentum of unraveling and throwing the ball into the ball.  Start with bringing your leg that faces the plate up and then twist your pelvis away from the plate.  Bring your arms away from the plate, throw your forward leg toward the plate bringing your arm out.  As your forward leg touches the ground bring your body down and being to roll your arm and the ball out towards the plate.  There are many variences but you want to find the one that is most comfortable to you.  Don't learn to throw sidearm because you'll only spend most games on the bench and your shoulder won't last long enough to make a career out of pitching.

With a grooved swing(short radius, etc), I'd recommend that you work on strengthening your lead hand arm strength. I have seen this work wonders when hitters that want to add more pop do concentrated isotonic training on the lead arm which for most players is their weaker arm. Have you ever tried the frisbee drill where you knock a softball sized wiffle ball off the tee using the lead hand? It's a hoot and effective!

I am a fast pitch pitcher in high school. Yes it is possible to pitch another no hitter. Last year I threw two perfect games. The most important thing to do is to make sure you mechanics are correct. If you throw correctly you can throw 3 games in a day and only be a little sore the next day. The main thing is to throw using your legs to generate the power. Your arm should never get tired. Only your legs should. The windmill motion is very easy on the body. To strengthen your legs I suggest running and doing squats and other various weight lifting. To improve your speed of the pitch work on foot speed. I like to do plyometrics to accomplish this. Don't over do the strengthen of the arm and shoulder muscles. You want to keep your muscles loose. Like my pitching coach always says loose muscles are fast muscles. I would work on grip strength by squeezing a tennis ball. Also strength the forearm, but make sure you stretch it out when your done. A good way to pick up stamina is to use a weighted ball. You don't have to go out and buy one. An easy way to make one is to put 1/4 finishing nails into the seams. 32 nails is about one ounce. You can add about one ounce to two. But I suggest starting light and working up to the heavier one. If you throw twenty with the weighted ball at the end of your workout your stamina will rise tremendously. Start with about twenty and work up to about forty then add more weight to the ball and start at twenty again. Keep pitching and good luck!
