Answer
Cody-

Pitching is going to take a lot of practice especially if you are brand new to it.

throwing off the mound can put a lot of stress on your arm so I suggest you throw a lot of "flat ground". On the days you're not throwing off the mound, get a catcher to catch you while you throw to him. have him squat down and practice throwing the ball to the middle of his body. Don't use a plate or worry about strikes and balls, just get used to throwing to the catcher's glove. Be sure to work on all your pitches.

You'll be getting a lot of work done this way and your development should be accelerated.

Good Luck this season
