What is a Bullpen?
In major league baseball, there are two kinds of pitchers. Starting pitchers and relief pitchers. Starting pitchers, obviously, start the game, and relief pitchers come in later in the game when the starter is tired. The bullpen is a term used to refer both to the group of relief pitchers as a whole, and to the area behind the outfield fence where the pitchers sit and warm up during the game. AJ is a relief pitcher, specifically a closer, which means his job is just to pitch the last inning of a game.
