How To Play Baseball: Bullpen Procedure

[Music Playing] What Timmy is doing here is he is warming up, his working on his fastball. The for purposes of this is for him to work inside the zone, full of sense up and down to the foot outside where we you want is a fastball outside for foot. [Music Playing] The whole purpose is for him to work into the strike zone; we do not use all of the strike zone. We want to work from the strike zone end. And once we established the outside part of the plate both side and that is where we want to stop. He starts a foot outside then he works itself towards six inches in. Once he establishes a fastball, we will throw change ups and fastball with a catch reckoning for locations and he will try to hit a spots. Timmy, Phil let us mix in a fastballs and change ups, fastball, change up, okay? Philip, give them different locations. [Music Playing] Now what Timmy is doing is working it, but two-thirds of distance, he is throwing his curve ball concentrating on the tightness of the spin, getting the feel for the curve, he will throw about six here and then we will have the catch and move by. They always starts out and stays on the mound, so they can get used to that area instead of coming in and then working by. We always move the catcher away from it. Come move back some Phil. [Music Playing] There you go. [Music Playing] All the way through Timmy. Now Philip will move back to the full distance. What Timmy has done, he is going to work through a couple of façades for establishing a good a proper feel for his curve ball. Now Philip moves back all the way to the proper 60 feet six inches, yet Timmy should have a better feel for the curve. Good pitch. We will throw some curves here then what we will do is we will connect with a fastball curve and a change up with Philip giving it on all location pitch. [Music Playing] From Brannon catch her in and moving him back it helps to picture this, to establish a pretty good feel for the rotation of the ball. [Music Playing] This routine takes about 65 pitches, you should be ready to go at the end of this, you have thrown every pitch, you have worked yourself from the outside into the strike zone. If he does not have something working for him, he stays here until it is done. He does not leave the bull pen until everything is working and he is properly warmed up. [Music Playing] While in the bull pen you never leave unless you throw from the stretch also. Get the feel for the stretch so you will know what it feels like before you go out there. Remember every pitch you throw from the wind-up, you need to throw one from the stretch. [Music Playing] One more, here we go. [Music Playing]
