The Fusion system is the complete strength and conditioning program in the 3X Pitching Velocity program. It has all of the Hatch Lifts and exercises but used a little differently along with a ton more. They are also laid out in a calender showing you what drills, lifts and exercises to do on what days which is critical to developing power and gaining velocity.

I know it is a good investment and it does take a high level of commitment to complete the program but it will be the best money you have ever spent in your career. I guarantee it!

The bench press develops the Pectoralis Major which connects to the Humerous bone which is the bone of the arm that attaches to the shoulder. This means the stronger and faster the Pectoralis Major can help move the humerous bone, the harder the pitcher throws. Now it isn't the only muscle that helps move the humerous but it is one of the biggest.

Pull-ups develop the Latissimus Dorsi which also connects to the Humerous bone and also helps move the arm. This means if you can train it to move faster then it will also help the pitcher throw harder.

The reason these coaches are advising against weight training is because they more than likely came from the non weight training era. This means they have no education in the field of strength and conditioning because they never used it in their careers. They also more than likely do not have strength and conditioning certifications. Basic logic tells you that weight training can promote muscle development and bigger, stronger, faster, muscles create better athletes. If weights can not help pitchers throw harder then why do football players use weight training? Throwing a football or sprinting past a defender is no different muscularly than pitching. When a coach tells you that you can't do something and he does not have a reason, you need to question him and see if he knows what he is talking about before you believe him. I guarantee you those coaches who are telling you that weight training is bad would tell you that most of the information on this site is worthless.
