The legs are the primary source of power for pitching. Look at old pictures of Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan; they had very strong legs and did a great drop and drive off the pitching rubber.
You will also want to work on your core strength in your torso.
Crunches will work very well for this.
Be careful on pumping up too much. You do not see huge power lifters pitching for a reason. Your flexibility is just as important as brute strength. Take a look at a picture of Randy Johnson's left arm during his delivery. He turns his forearm almost parallel to the ground. Now THAT is flexibility.

light rotator cuff empty can exercises -- ask an athletic trainer or physical therapist how to do them correctly. Also, NO OVERHEAD PRESSES -- they bulk the shoulder cap and hinder the pitching motion. any closed chain leg exercises -- squat, single leg press and single leg step ups. Avoid the extensions and curls they will only tear up your knee caps. plus gradual throwing program until season starts and rest when you need to.

Work out your entire body, arms legs and crest. Take lots of supplements, eat healthy. If you want to make it all the way to the big leagues look at ways to cheat the steriod policy, just like big leaguers do
