Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole offers some fantastic thoughts to gain a competitive edge like the pros in the article linked here.  Here is a great quote from the article:

"And there are a lot of different ways to do it. I mean, Cueto is a different bird than Wainwright is. And Greinke is different than Kershaw. So there are a lot of different ways to go about it. But I think the common thing is attention to detail. And focus on every single rep, whether that's a [fielding drill], a throw, an arm exercise in the training room, a warm-up. Every single thing is done with high focus, high attention to detail, and done with a purpose, as if it's the most important single thing that needs to be done."
