Help a skinny athlete become stronger...

Ok, so here's the skinny. (pun not intended )

I am 18 years old and I've been playing baseball all my life. When I was a little kid, I was probably one of the best baseball players my age in the state. (California) "This kid is making it to the majors" were quotes that were thrown around. Anyway, as I got older, I remained skinny, and I never gained the physical aspect of the game that is needed to play in higher levels. (Power, Arm Strength) Last year, my senior year in high school, I still "managed" to hit .398, but I couldn't help but feel that I could have done so much better had I not been so weak. I talked to some college coaches and they all said the same thing.."You gotta get stronger."

Anyway, here I am in February, and I got 6 months to get myself in as best a shape as I can get for summer practice. I'm currently about 5'10 155. Ideally, I'd like to gain around 10 more lbs of muscle.
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
