How hard do you throw in the bullpen?
I am just getting back to pitching and wanted to know how people handle bullpen throwing, both on game day and between starts.
I have found that even after a couple days rest if I throw more than 75% I still have a bit of arm soreness.
Also, warming up for a game, is there any point to throwing 100% until you are actually throwing to a live batter? What about warm ups for each inning? What is your philosophy on this?

Re: How hard do you throw in the bullpen?
In the pen, start off slow, nice and easy. Your last couple of pitches should be 100%, I would toss in a fastball as your final pitch just so that you are all the way there.
As far as recovery, you are not going to get back to 100% between appearances. But the key is get yourself in shape physically and make sure your power is coming from your legs.
Btw, I haven't pitched in fifteen years, but nevertheless I think this is solid advice.
