David Riske, from Adam Bales’ Evolution of a Pitch.
Just noticed an interesting snippet from Eric Cressey :
Q: You don’t like back squats for overhead throwers, is this because of anterior instability or some other reason?
A: In a word, yes; anterior stability is so crucial for a pitcher that I’m not tempted to push it. Then again, that’s the short version – and it also assumes that the lifter is using a closer-grip, which mandates more external rotation.

Of course, there’s slightly more to it than that; as he explains. Good stuff.
