In-season weight lifting for pitchers?

My son's coach told the non-varsity players they will need to lift on their own during the season. Any suggestions for a plan for him to follow?

Thanks.

In season lifting is all about maintenance, so his routine should be a circuit type with a couple of leg sets, back arms, chest and core. Lighter weights higher reps. No overhead of any type as you can get shoulder impingements that can effect throwing. I would consider a couple of yoga or pilates classes a week with 2-3 lifting days, if he can fit it in. It gets difficult for a HS player to make it happen because of time constraints.
