Velocity is something that you can increase, but not by a whole lot. Weight lifting is fine, but you have to make sure you're doing the right exercises. Fundamentals are the key. Make sure you're coming over the top and extending your arm. Those who pitch by pushing their elbow through and having to pull their forearm, wrist, and hand (in that order) are naturally slower. But here's the key. Be accurate. And also master your offspeed stuff. A good breaking ball with an average fastball will keep the batters guessing. Learn to throw your fastball and offspeed pitches with the exact same motion so you're not telegraphing your pitches. You can also throw different types of fastballs. Use a splitter, four-seam, and a two-seam. The splitter is harder to control. Don't only work on curves for your offspeed. Learn a slider too. The best pitchers in the majors are smarter than they are fast. But remember, fundamentals are the key. Come over the top and stop your motion in a good defensive position. You're well on your way.

consider going for lessons..near me there is a place called Pro Prospects where you can get individual lessons and stuff.
first concentrate on accuracy and not worry about speed. if you dont have accuracy and you have speed, theres no point becausse you wont be pitching strikes. so practice practice practice until yoou become more accurate..keep your arm stretched and warm..
the pros know best..so here are some excellent websites you should check out

Hey. I'm a baseball type of gal, so i'm happy someone has asked this lol. Ok, practicing your throwing arm without the ball, so your pitching with an "imaginary ball" lol. Do foward arm circles also. Start lifting weights also. Good Luck!
