Who is a "bullpen catcher"?
A bullpen catcher is a person who assists a baseball team by catching for pitchers during their warm-up sessions in the bullpen, which is the area where relief pitchers prepare before entering a game. The bullpen catcher helps pitchers practice their throws, ensuring they are ready to pitch when needed. They also provide feedback to pitchers on their performance and work closely with coaching staff to monitor the pitchers' condition. While not involved in the game itself, the bullpen catcher plays an important supporting role in helping the team’s pitchers stay prepared.
Examples
