You will get advice from strength and conditioning guys here. They will tell you that there are baseball specific programs for pitchers and all throwers alike. Look into them and stick with the program.
Remember, in baseball, nobody cares if you can bench 300, and then you can't throw a baseball 70 mph.

Where can i find a program like this
i would not suggest finding a program, and following it blindly. There's tons of great information on this site, so sift through and see what common themes exist and what applys to you. Also, there are magazines designed to give atheletes of every sort get prepared, the best one I know of is StackMag, check them out too.
Good advice Andrew. You can PM John Doyle as he seems to know quite a few conditioning programs.
