How do I get a strong arm for baseball?

Question

I'm 5'5 and around 125 lbs. I'm gonna try out for baseball, I'll probably be put at as a outfield but I'm not sure, but I've noticed that I can't seem to throw the ball far, and I know I need a good arm for baseball especially when it comes to double plays. Any excercises to get a strong arm for baseball?

Thank you.

Answer 4

long toss with a four seemed grip for as long as it takes you for your arm to feel tired every other day. also look into getting a "yolk" its like a bungi cord that you attech to a wall and just bend your arm at the elbow multiple times while holding onto it

Answer 5

throw with someone, start out close then work real real far apart, more distance consistently over a few weeks you will see some results

Answer 6

long toss

Answer 7

lots and lots of long toss.

don't throw too much or you can get a sore arm and the more time you take to heal, the less time you have to practice.

and by the way, don't throw side-arm because that will lead to elbow and wrist problems.

hopefully i helped.
