How to have a BAD bullpen: ❌ Don’t have a plan ❌ Don’t track anything ❌ Don’t make it challenging ❌ Don’t throw out of the stretch ❌ Focus on multiple things at once What else would you add? @FlatgroundApp
@PitchingCoachU @FlatgroundApp 2 more: one would be coaches aren’t staying current on trends& ideas. The last one would be: “don’t have a plan”. It’s worth repeating.
@PitchingCoachU @LaustenJohn @FlatgroundApp •Not asking for feedback from both your catcher & hitters that may be standing in IMO catchers should know the “plan” going in as well or better than the pitcher, in that they’re able to lead the bullpen — a good time to continue to practice all sign systems a team may use
@PitchingCoachU @FlatgroundApp Not creating “feel”. Constantly looking at data screens after every pitch or asking for feedback from a coach or trainer. Time and place for that but they are all cues you won’t have in a competitive game setting
@PitchingCoachU @FlatgroundApp Not having the slightest idea of how pathomechanics can be mitigated.
@PitchingCoachU @FlatgroundApp Not throwing one at all
