Has anybody read any of this guy's claims about the correlation between the vertical jump & pitching?

http://www.topvelocity.net/tag/vertical-jump/


Claim is that unless you have a 25" vertical you can't throw 90mph. I can see how it correlates to explosiveness & I know that pitching isn't aerobic or anerobic, but rather ATP-PC. What do you guys think? I think athletic ability plays a factor, but I'm still a believer that almost anyone can throw 90mph with proper weight & throwing training and learning to sync up the kinetic chain of the pitching motion.
