So for starting pitchers, day 3 after a start is usually a 20-pitch bullpen session (per Google, but this sounds right). Maybe we can get 2 innings?

How the Day 3 Bullpen is Structured

The Simulated "Innings": Pitchers typically split their bullpen session into two "innings" or blocks of 10 to 15 pitches.

The Sitting Break: Between these blocks, the pitcher will step off the mound and sit down on the bench for 5 to 7 minutes. This deliberately simulates the rest period they experience when their own team is batting.

Game-Like Pacing: Even within a single block, pitchers do not rush. They take 15 to 20 seconds between individual pitches to reset their mechanics, practice their breathing, and visualize an opposing batter.
