At a major league club’s training facility earlier this month, a coach asked his young pitchers to throw a quick bullpen session, consisting of 25 pitches off the mound. Part of the explicit instruction was “to take it easy.” A few warmed up by throwing before they stepped onto the mound and with the catcher still standing. One didn’t like his final pitch, so he threw another and another until he was satisfied.
While the coach likely assumed that these minor league pitchers had indeed thrown only 25 pitches, each was equipped with Catapult’s wearable baseball product.
