While learning to throw a ball harder, you cannot go wrong with consulting professionals.
I can ask your school coach for tips and corrections on how to pitch fast. They can spot what you have been doing wrong at a single glance.

Situation 1: R1, no outs. Fly ball hit to deep right field, and R1 tags up and is in between second and third base when the ball is thrown. The ball goes out of play. Is R1 awarded 3B or HP?

Situation 2: R1 and R3, 1 out. Fly ball, R3 legally tags, and scores. R1 leaves early and is called out on appeal, but after R3 crossed the plate. Does the run score?

Good overview of baseball positions. One correction: Barry Bonds was never a regular DH since he played his entire career in the National League, which doesn’t have a DH (as of 2021.) He played left field until the end of his career. (He did play DH in a few games each year, in the relatively small number of inter-league games they played at AL ballparks.)

When a right-handed pitcher makes a pick-off attempt to first base after the coming set, is it ever permissible for his pivot foot to remain in contact with the rubber? Basically, I was questioning a call in my son’s game. The pitcher came to set and stepped towards first but his right foot didn’t come off the rubber. I have always been taught that the pivot foot must clear the rubber before a throw first. Am I wrong?
