Well yeah, to an extent, but there are just some portions of strength that no amount of throwing will fully develop correctly; for example, if you do hundreds of throws with a weak lower back, you'll probably get lower back problems later in life. The human body was stupidly designed with a weak lower back for this heavy upper-body we have, so first you should get a strong lower back and strong abs first.

Doing thousands of reps is more for technique and ability, but for solid strength so your body doesn't start to break down on you, you need separate training focuses solely on strength.
