DD's current warm up....
1) dynamic stretch and run
2) overhand throw
3) underhand throw and eventually walk throughs (pretty much the only 'drill' she ever does)
4) pitch. She throws 10 - 15 fastballs, then moves to other pitches. All she throws is a change, a rise, and a drop/drop curve. She throws enough of each just to get the feel. This may take 3-5 pitches. It may take 10-12. She rarely throws more than 30 pitches total during her warm up. Once she touches a ball, she can be completely ready in 10 to 15 minutes.
DD has 8 years of experience, and she has been using this routine for the last 3 or 4. Prior to that she did take longer. She has reduced it as she has gained experience.
