Read the Break: Reaction-Cued Go/Hold Quick-Delivery Drill
A partner fires a random GO or HOLD cue the instant the pitcher reaches set. On GO (a runner breaking), the pitcher must read it, decide, and deliver a quality strike to the plate under a stopwatch cap; on HOLD, they stay disciplined. Trains a fast, repeatable time to plate under real reaction and decision pressure instead of a pre-scripted quick pitch.
⏱ ~20 min📋 4 rounds of 6 cued reps (mix ~2 GO / 1 HOLD each round); about 14–18 timed GO deliveries total.
