After a break of a year and a half I am returning to the diamond. To put it mildly, I am a little giddy. I want to see some pitches to work on my mechanics. My problem is I am not sure how to skin this cat. I have worked 1 JV game and while some of my work was like riding a bike, I still feel like I need more work. I have heard of an animal called "cage work" but I am not sure on exactly what that entails. Any suggestions?

Working in a batting cage (usually not during batting practice), but with a batter and a catcher, and most importantly an experienced umpire standing outside the cage, giving immediate feedback on every pitch (positioning, timing, lower limit of your zone, inside-outside, etc.) It can be very enlightening and rewarding if the evaluator is competent and brutally honest.
