I was a pitcher for several years. By the time i was 13 I could throw a mean slider and fastball to 70 mph with great accuracy. I suggest getting private lessons if you are really serious about it, a bit pricey but if you get them from a good pitcher, you will go far. DO NOT learn to throw pitches other then fastball, change-up, and possibly slider (if you throw it right with no twisting). My private instructor screwed me over. He was great but taught me how to throw a curve ball with no twisting. It worked great. After about a month or two of throwing this pitch, it hurt so bad in my elbow (a wierd place too) I had to give up pitching. Three years later, to this day, If i throw any type of ball for more then a couple minutes, I get pain in my elbow. Its in the wierdest spot too. So, look for a private instructor!What Baseball Player has the coolest name of all time?
Study how the pros do it. After watching videos of how they do their wind up, you should see how to do it fasterFor velocity, think more in terms of increasing core strength. Your core is your abdominal (stomach) and lower back mucsles. Your actual arm isn't really doing a great deal of the work in pitching. Strengthen your stomach and lower back and your hitting will also drastically improve. Throw less between outings.
First of all, legs and your "core strength" are a key to velocity and stamina --- so, get some long distance running in 3 days a week or more if possible... Next, if you don't have the velocity now, learn to throw a circle change, its the quickest way to make your fastball more effective.

First, How old are you? If you are accurate right now and getting batters out why do you need to throw harder. Even if you learn properly to throw a baseball harder , will you have any control when pitching. There 100's of pitchers in the minors or some in majors that can throw very hard but still cannot locate the pitch. But, the best hard throwers Clemens,Randy Johnson ,Nolan Ryan all come from the legs. Any pitcher will tell you that most of there power starts with the legs.
