Baseball lifting

[bobby5]

Im a pitcher and ive been lifting over the winter and my arms and chest got pretty big. I never see pitchers with big arms. Will this hurt my velocity any gaining mass in my arms and chest?

Pitching does require strength and speed which you have probably gained also by lifting. I wouldn't worry about a bit of extra mass - you should be OK.

You should work your legs and your core.
Pitchers use the whole chain to drive the ball. That's the reason for the big wind up.
This is why a foot problem is just as bad as a shoulder problem to a pitcher.
Look at pitchers like "The Rocket" He has huge leg muscles. Horse like if you aske me.

For sure on the legs. Roger has some serious legs and he's been said that most of his power comes from them on his delivery. Make sure you take care of the rotator cuff too though. Do some cable or dumbell work to keep it conditioned.
