Can you tell me in more detail why you are opposed to conventional squats for throwing athletes? I'll tell you now that I don't agree, but I honestly am not sure what your reasoning is and I want to listen.

I have eliminated the back squat from my choice of exercises. I can get a greater stimulus using things like rear-foot-elevated split squats, TRX lunges, walking lunges, Goblet Squats, and the occasional front squat.

You'll hear baseball people talk about it being because of the shoulders, but that's not why I've eliminated it. Think about the amount of stress you are putting on your spine when you put a heavy bar onto your back....
