It's when the pitcher sets up and pitches as if he were pitching in a game, he also pitches full speed and the coaches track how he does, calls balls and strikes, judges if the ball would have been hit. its as if he's pitching in a game without the batter and fansOver say the last 25 yrs who have been some of the pitchers in MLB who have hit a HR.?
they will have there pitchers pitch in a game like situation with a catcher and probably some coaches and possibly other field players as well as different types of hitters.Its more like practice then a game.
Many teams will do that when they have an off day or rehab assignment where they are trying to get the guy back to his best as soon as possible.
