牛棚, 救援投手的热身区
a designated area beyond the outfield where relief pitchers warm up before entering a game
A bullpen is an area in baseball or softball where relief pitchers warm up before coming into the game. It is usually located near the foul lines, outside the field of play, and is equipped with a mound for pitchers to practice their throws. The bullpen serves as a place for pitchers not currently playing in the game to prepare for their turn on the field. Coaches and players use this area to evaluate the pitchers' readiness and decide when to bring them in.
