BP Thrower’s Role

1. Location Intentionality

   • Throw middle-in and middle-up pitches to help hitter work on lifting to the outfield (sac fly situations).

   • Mix in middle-away to force controlled swings that can score a runner.

2. Game-Like Cues

   • Call out: “Runner on 3rd, less than 2 outs” or “Runner on 2nd, 2 outs.”

   • Keep tempo realistic so the hitter feels situational urgency.

3. Round Design

   • 5–8 swings per situation.

   • Encourage hitters to think execution, not power showcase.
