Resistance training is the best way to build power. Just make sure you don't just train any muscle, but train those muscles that you need in softball. That includes muscles in your arms, shoulders, legs, wrists, as well as your core muscles.

Learn perfect exercise technique. Use perfect exercise technique on every rep. Leave your ego at the gym door. Get sufficient rest between training sessions by waiting at least 24 or 48 hours after all DOMS [delayed onset muscle soreness] has disappeared before training again. Always use either a power rack or a spotter on potentially dangerous exercises such as flat bench presses.
