Throwing a projectile at high speeds has very little to do with arm strength and a great deal to do with technique and form. Look at Randy Johnson - that guy is built like a stick figure, and he throws plenty fast (and in the specific physics of propelling things, his being tall doesn't hurt, either). In fact, if you overbuild your muscles, you will sacrifice flexibility and with it arm speed, which is absolutely key.


I'd say practice, practice, practice. If you know of another player who can really hurl it, observe their form, and maybe ask them for some pointers.
