投手守备训练
Also known as: PFP
投手守备训练（PFP）是专门训练投手执行防守动作的一套训练——补防一垒、处理触击球、应对回击的滚地球，以及补位垒包。
投出球之后，投手就成了第五名内野手，必须瞬间从投手转变为野手。PFP训练能训练球员在球被打向右侧时补防一垒垒包的反应、正确处理拖曳触击和牺牲触击、传向正确的垒包，以及在长打局面下补防三垒或本垒。这些防守中的失误，是垒球比赛中最可预防的失误之一，PFP正是让投手的防守动作变得自动化、而不是压力下有意识决策的专门训练。
After every pitch in the bullpen, complete the full PFP footwork. This means sprint toward first, touch the bag, and call out the base you would have thrown to. This means. As a result, the movement pattern is automatic before the game.
Film PFP from the third-base side to see both the pitcher's base coverage timing and the bunt placement at the same time. This means this angle confirms whether the pitcher's break to first is correct timing relative to typical bunt locations.
Example
在PFP训练中，投手处理一记触击球，读出前位跑垒员的动向，传向二垒完成封杀——这正是她在第六局无需思考就能执行的同一个动作。
How it shows up on video
In PFP film you can see whether the pitcher makes the correct base-coverage decision before the ball is bunted. This means early movement toward first base versus late reaction is visible. The transfer from pitcher to fielder should appear seamless. A noticeable pause between pitch delivery and fielding response indicates the reaction is still conscious rather than automatic. Throwing accuracy on the second step of the fielded bunt is the key outcome to evaluate in PFP video review.
Common mistakes
- Breaking toward first base too late after pitching, arriving a step behind the bag rather than in time for the throw from the first baseman
- Fielding the bunt correctly but throwing to the wrong base — failing to read the lead runner's position before releasing
- Neglecting to practice PFP reliably so game-speed reactions require conscious thought rather than automatic response
- Not backing up the correct base after fielding or pitching, leaving an uncovered base vulnerable on overthrows

Motion Lab tracks the pitcher's transition time from release to fielding position and evaluates body mechanics through the fielding motion to identify whether the pitcher's delivery creates a fielding disadvantage.
Frequently asked questions
为什么补防一垒是PFP中最常见的失误环节？
因为投手专注于投球任务，而且大多数人在投球动作结束时身体朝向拉打方向——补防一垒需要一次有意识的横穿身体冲刺，往往起步过晚。
PFP应该多久练习一次？
赛季中至少每周两次，包括实战重复训练——投手真正投出一颗球，随后立即转入防守动作，而不仅仅是走位演练。
