batting practice
Hitter's warm-up session
Batting practice is a baseball training session where batters hit pitched balls repeatedly to sharpen their swing.
The pitcher throws at reduced speed from closer range, letting hitters focus on timing and contact.
Before games, teams take batting practice in sequence: The visiting team gets batting practice first.
Figuratively, something that's batting practice is easy or routine.
