When you are a pitcher you are usually pitching more maybe 3 seconds at a time. For those 3 seconds you are very explosive. According to the book, The Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning Fourth Edition, this resembles the need for anaerobic power training. Because pitchers are off and on for a sufficient amount of time, they need to also build up their anaerobic base so they can have a larger anaerobic capacity. This enables them to recover from their explosive movements faster and more efficiently. Because of the need for anaerobic power, the energy system that is used is the ATP-PC system. This system uses adenosine triphosphate, and phosphocreatine. The energy system provides direct energy through the breakdown of stored, high energy
