アップは? バッチリです。
The above sentence is taken straight from Haikyuu!! S01E07.
The subs translate to:
アップは? > Did you get warmed up?
バッチリです。> Perfectly.
The context is a coach asks his player if he's warmed up so he can swap him into the ongoing match, to which the player responds that he did.
I am having trouble understanding アップは? Can someone break it down?
I would assume that アップ is a transliteration of the English word 'up'; an abbreviation of 'warmed up', 'fired up' etc.
The は is just the usual topic marker. This is a simple way of making a question, like お名前は to ask what someone's name is.
