PFP. Anyone who watches the Pittsburgh Pirates on T.V. has heard those three letters said many times by commentators Bob Walk and Steve Blass. But what is PFP? Well, that would be pitchers’ fielding position of course!
PFP is a big part of Spring Training for every Major League team each season. While it may seem like redundant work that most pitchers hate doing, it is vital work that needs to be done each spring.
When teams are doing PFP drills pitchers practice many things. Getting off the mound to cover first base, fielding groundballs hit back to the mound, and getting off the mound to go after balls on the ground are among the things teams practice with PFP drills.
