Why Bullpen Time Should Be "Game Time" For Baseball Pitchers

Today, I want to address the importance of taking bullpen sessions and pitching workouts seriously.

"Why Good Pitching Starts In The Bullpen"

It has to happen in the bull pen before it can happen on the pitcher's mound. Plain and simple. Don’t just go through the motions when you're out there working on your pitching delivery or hitting spots. Take your bullpen sessions seriously. Focus on proper baseball pitching mechanics, good location, speed manipulations, pitching grips and pitch spins — and in that order of importance!

Throwing smart in the bullpen by focusing on body mechanics first, location second, and pitching speed and pitch selection third helps to establish a sound foundation for becoming a complete, dominating baseball pitcher come game time.

If it doesn't happen in the pen, it won't happen in the game. There's no such thing as an on-off switch in baseball. Keep it turned on every time you step foot on the mound or you'll likely find yourself on the bench.

Yours in baseball,
