bullpens

Relief pitcher zones

Bullpens is the plural of bullpen.

In baseball, a bullpen is the area where relief pitchers warm up during a game, and by extension, the relief pitchers themselves: The team's bullpen has been unreliable this season.

Outside baseball, a bullpen is any large, open workspace where people work together without private offices: The interns shared a bullpen on the third floor.
