Bullpens

In baseball, a bullpen is the area where relief pitchers warm up before entering a game. It also refers to the group of relief pitchers available to replace the starting pitcher during a game. Relief pitchers, often called relievers, step in to maintain the team's chances of winning, especially if the starting pitcher struggles. The bullpen includes various types of pitchers, such as specialists and closers, each with specific roles. Managing the bullpen effectively is crucial for a team's strategic success, as it ensures timely and well-prepared pitching to handle different game situations.
