Strength Training

Question
I am the father of a 12 year old pitcher.  He has pitched for 3 seasons.  Outside of the throwing drills, is there any recommended weight training or exercises that would be beneficial for his pitching?

Answer
Ray,
I wouldn't worry about weight training drills yet.  Your son is young and still growing.  You should have him focus on his mechanics, accuracy, and mastering the change-up first.  When he is older and starts to weight train, I believe the best training programs come from Bigger Faster Stronger.  You can check them out at www.biggerfasterstronger.com.  You son can start a flexibility program and a speed and agility program at this time.  Check the website out and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank You,
John Priest
