It's not about arm, it's about shoulder.  Do more weights would help.  But be ware, don't work too hard when you are still young.  Keep that in mind.

For grip, pinch plate, grab a couple of weight plates and hold for as long as you can. Wrist curls and reverse bicep curls for the forearms.

Are you talking about general health, or specific skills like throwing, hitting, etc. In general stamina is increased by repetitive tasks, so for stamina in running, try jogging longer distances daily. For arm stamina, throwing the ball using proper technique will increase your arm stamina (and possibly allow you to throw he ball faster/further). Same thing with hitting. Go to the batting cages, hit off a tee, just swing the bat - all will help. Just make sure that you are using proper technique or you can not only hurt your rhythm but cause some physical damage.

It's hard to prepare for baseball when the weather won't co-operate. I live in Canada, so I know what you're going through. \n\nThe first thing would be to get a rubber ball, about the same size of a baseball and find a piece of wall somewhere. (The gym at a school is good, or anyother place like that where they'll allow you to throw it against the wall.). And just throw the ball against the wall and let it come back to you. Field it properly, practising positioning of your feet and such. It gives you great practice on anticipation, because you don't exactly know how the ball is going to come back to you. It's also good for short-hops, something you need to be able to handle as a first baseman. The throwing also helps you get your arm in shape, even though it might not be a real baseball; the repeatative motion will help strengthen the muscles you don't use all winter. And as for batting; it depends really on what you need to work on. Practising your swing can be done anywhere with enough room, and if you want to fine tune a little; swing in slow-motion in front of a mirror. Watch where your feet and hands are going and if your opening your hips properly. Hand-eye can be done at a gym too. Use a tee (Like in tee-ball. Retarded sounding, I know, but it works). And use wiffle balls or street hockey balls. Unless you got a batting cage handy (An indoor one, obviously), that's really all I can suggest.

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!

Stretching and strength training.  Train your forearms/wrists, delts, lats, abs and leg muscles with higher reps and lowers weights.  Stretch your arm regularly, as flexibility is very important.  I was a little shorter than you in high school and threw 89-91mph.

lift, stretch, flicking the wrist a little harder also will had 10-15 yards most of the time.  use ur whole body not just arm. and most of all, put every ounce of strength in ur body into it!

do wrist curls with a curl bar.  Palms up and then palms down.  Do sets and increase your weight with each set, do as many reps as you can until muscle failure.  You will notice your forearms getting alot bigger, as this is really a great forearm workout, but it will strengthen the tendons and ligaments in your wrist, and your grip, combined this will give you a great strong fist.  Work hard and good luck.  I hope this helps.

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.

im also a lefty, i used to hit the batter more than i threw a ball, but anyway now when i warmup and practice i exaggerate every movement i make and that helps alot, but when you're throwing and you have your arm behiend you should try to reach back as far as you can and place the ball on second base.

You have to have a strong arm and most of it really is a gift.\nYou either have a srong arm or you don't.\n\nNot everyone with a strong arm is a good pitcher for various reasons.\n\nLifting weights will help give you a stronger arm but you don't want to be lifting real heavy weights and make your muscles too tight.\n\nIf you do have a strong arm, then you need to learn different types of pitches and how to throw them.\n\nPractice a lot with a catcher and play as much ball as possible.\nIt would be good to practice with a good softball pitcher who could show you the proper technique.\n\nIf you have the talent it will start to show the more you play.\nIf you don't have the arm or are not a real good pitcher you still could be a very good ballplayer and have a lot of fun playing another position on a team.

Pushup are good.  Also tricep dips.  Get some dumbells for bicep curls, tricep overhead raises, and such.  Do your upper body workout every other day for best results.

Here you go, just follow these simple steps.\n\n1.Hide the ball in your glove.\n \n2.Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers perpendicular to the seams at their widest point, with your thumb underneath the ball.\n \n3. Spread your top fingers apart slightly and keep your ring finger and pinkie tucked into your palm. \n \n4. Hold the ball firmly, applying pressure with your middle finger and thumb. Try not to let the ball rest in the palm of your hand, and keep your index finger relaxed. \n \n5.Wind up into the pitch. Use the same pitching motion as in your other pitches so that the batter cannot predict a curveball. \n \n6.Keep your wrist relaxed. After drawing back the pitch, hold your wrist so that the back of your hand points toward your body. \n \n7.Roll your wrist downward and to the right (if you are right-handed) or to the left (if you're left-handed) immediately before releasing the pitch. \n \n8.Release the pitch and follow through by bending your wrist. A right-hander should finish with the palm facing in toward the chest. The top of your thumb should be facing up.\n \n9.Throw the ball between the batter and home plate if you're a left-handed pitcher facing a left-handed batter or if you're a right-handed pitcher facing a right-handed batter.\n \n \n\n \n \nTips:\nYou can also try gripping the ball between and along the seams. Spread your fingers apart slightly and press your middle finger into the ball. Go with the grip that allows you a comfortable release, the proper spin and maximum control.\n \nTurn your wrist further to increase the ball's spin. You will lose some control but will gain more curve. Throw harder, and the pitch gains speed but loses some of the curving movement.\n \n \nWarnings:\nThrowing a curveball can cause serious and possibly permanent damage to your shoulder, elbow and wrist. For this reason, most managers and coaches advise that young players avoid this pitch until they reach physical maturity.

First, exercise your arm, especially by stretching.  Go light on the weights; a little is okay, but they're more for resiliency and muscle tone than getting speed.  Get good mechanics: good consistent release point, get your throwing side through, keep your elbow behind your hand, and snap your wrist on delivery.  Don't worry about being squared up to the plate on release; Bob Gibson wasn't, and he threw HARD.\n\nThen (gasp)... throw.  Throw your fastball.  As much as you can without getting tired or hurting yourself.  Once you know how to throw, that's the only thing to do.  And it's the only way to gain "muscle memory"- a phenomenon where your muscles tend to repeat their actions for you when you do a similar act over and over.  Throwing also gives your arm and shoulder stamina, which weights won't do.\n\nYou're 6-0, 140?  Put on weight.  Good muscle, not fat, and work your abs, quads, and lats.  Do a little bit (a little) on your biceps for strength.  Get to 180, if your frame can handle it.  Right now, you don't have the body mass behind you to throw all that hard... :)  Keep working...

DO NOT THROW EVERYDAY.  This will hurt your arm in more ways than you can imagine.\n\nDO NOT THROW CURVES.  This will also hurt your arm and will actually shorten your career.  You shouldn't start throwing any curve balls, sliders or cutters until you are in college or in a minor league system for a major league team and then, an instructor will show you how to do it.\n\nThere are plenty of instructional videos out there for kids like you.

Key to success in baseball is strength, speed, and flexibility.\n\nWeight training is good, but don't overdo it. As you gain muscle mass, you could lose speed and flexibility.\n\nThere are any number of good core training exercises that can develop both your strength and your flexibility.\n\nA good exercise to develop speed is a sort of suicide drill. Start at first base and run backwards toward second base. Walk back to first base and start again. Start with maybe thirty reps of this exercise and gradually increase as you improve. Also, do some running roadwork or other aerobic exercise to build endurance.\n\nYou may want to consult with your coach to develop a more specific program, and as has been said before, be sure to stretch before and after your workouts and stay hydrated.\n\nHope this helps!
