I'm a freshman in high school and 15 years old. I am 6'2'' without shoes on and with cleats I'm closer to 6'3''. I weigh about 200 pounds and throw anywhere from 75-78 with my fastball. I have never been really instructed on how to use my body in pitching, so I know I'm throwing almost all with my arm. I have very long, strong legs with big calves and thighs. I was wondering what there was to do to develop or gain speed on my fastball?
Other information:
I have a three quarters arm slot
do not have a high leg kick (like clemens does)
My arms are very weak, I have little muscle in them
I'm almost done growing. X-Rays revealed growth plates were almost closed. I have about an inch to gain.
I have a good curve and cutter and a two seamer that moves about two feet down and away to left handers, so I just need to boost my speed. Accuracy is there also. At the level I'm at, I am able to blow away batters and strike out 7-10 a game, but I want to be able ot play in college.
