I'm sure that any good strength building movement has value and would transfer well to the field. It's been said that chin-ups are a good indicator of how "in shape" you are (strength to weight ratio). But since my son can only do one good chin-up, and we only have three months left to get as much out of him as we can, we'll just stick to the rowing movements.
