All innings after the first will be one warm-up pitch and throw down by the catcher and no infield-outfield warm-ups. Make sure your leadoff batter is prepared to step in box after the pitcher’s first warm-up pitch. Play will be resuming quickly –umpires will be enforcing this for it allows a better opportunity of teams playing their seven innings.
