Out of all the greats on this team who is the greatest cardinal of all time? can use current & former players.

After Playing baseball myself for 17 years I found that most of your velocity comes from your leg kick and drive the higher your knee drives into your chest and the quicker it returns to the ground the faster teh ball will travel out of your hands. After all the legs are twice as strong as the uperbody. Look at Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, even players as far back as CY Young and you will see that the leg drive is the key to a few extra MPH's If you have any other questions I can help with let me know Homerunrocks24@yahoo.com

Two quick things ... soft toss will build arm strength... get down on one knee with a partner increase the distance between each other every twenty throws by about 20 yards untill about 60 to 80 yards from one another. Also take a broom handle chop it in half tie a courd to it about 31/2 foot long then tie a 5lb or 10lb weight to the other end hold it out parallel and roll the weight up and then back down around 100 times a day for wrist strength.. several others but good luck

Plyometrics are probably the best way to increase your velocity. It won't give you brute strength like lifting weights will, but it will increase your explosiveness. Strengthening your legs will help but that is more for stamina. Here's more on plyometrics if your interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/plyometrics...

If I were you, I'd try to go with mechanics. A pitcher you seem to be comparable to in size might be Roger Clemens. His mechanics are smart and effective as to how he pitches, and also maintaining his conditioning.

Mlb pitcher's most consecutive wins to begin a season?

this might sound funny but here goes , you might try what they train hoses with - water so take swimming lessons , another way is something I seen in an old baseball movie. throwing rocks at chickens sitting on a fense sinse we don't want to hurt animals switch the chickens for pop cans and make sure u use rocks not stones, as they weigh heaver and will add to the muscular growth that you need and are looking for. also drink milk and not that energy crap and get proper sleep..also rember sex before a game or tryout is a no-no...it will rob you of to much energy... its the best I can come up with at short notice.hope it helps.
