Number one way to build forearm mass is to get yourself a weight you are comfortable with on the barbell keep your arms down straight to your legs (holding barbell) and do curls with your hands with your arms fully extended (down and in front of you below the belt). Go about it slowly so you don't tear anything. I guarantee you by next summer you'll have arms resembling tree trunks.
You'll still want to do other exercises to develop the rest of your body also. Wouldn't want to screw your coordination up developing only one part of your body.

In building up your body for baseball the legs are the most important of all. They give you your power at the plate and throwing the ball. If you were doing just squats with no weights involved just five times every day you would be strengthening your lower body. Do 20-30 toe raises three times a week.
You wouldn't believe how much doing just 30-50 pushups a day will build your shoulders up by spring. 50 arm curls three times a week. 30 sit ups a day. Hold the barbell down at your hips and shrug your shoulders. This will also build your shoulders. If you did ten of these a day 4 times a week again by spring you will see the difference. Bench press a weight you are comfortable with and each week try to increase your repetitions by one or two times you'll be building strength.
Remember to condition yourself. Running wind sprints or finding a hill to run up will really strengthen your legs and your lungs. But the main thing is to not overdo things. Listen to your body if it says stop then stop. Over time your strength will build up. It will happen don't push things. Do it naturally you don't need any supplements.
Also if your school has a gym use it if you can and ask a physical education teacher and tell him what you want to do with your body. If he's worth his weight I'm sure he could give you a training program. Then just do it. Be fearless.

I think the curls he is referring to are "reverse" curls, when your grip a barbell for a normal curl you will have your palms facing up. For isolating the fore-arms, grab the barbell with palms facing down. Then you'll be calling your girl friend Olive Oil (Popeye).
