Not only do medicine ball exercises allow you to train in movements which share a far higher level of correspondence to the field of play (see this post on specificity for more information), but they also provide a much needed opportunity to develop force production in rotary movements (essentially
the transverse plane of movement).

By using the dozens
of transverse plane movements offered with Steel Club training, your rotational power will increase dramatically.
Key shoulder
movements that involve the pectoralis major include shoulder horizontal adduction (moving the arms together in the
transverse plane at shoulder height), shoulder adduction (moving the arms down to the sides, from shoulder height), shoulder scapular flexion or extension (moving the arms to or from shoulder height in the scapular
plane in front
of the body), and shoulder flexion or extension (moving the arms to or from shoulder height in front
of the body).
