Bullpen Routine

I am curious what routine you have your pitchers use while pitching in the bullpen (pre-game and between games)(Note: I coach a 14u feeder/travel team).

Here is what I do:

The pitcher throws 6 consecutive pitches of each pitch (i.e. fastball, change, curve...). The overall goal is a minimum of 24 pitches but more if needed.

1. first 2 pitches are get over pitches to get a feel for the pitch

2. next 2 pitches are inside pitches

3. next 2 pitches are outside pitches

If they need a couple more throws for the pitch type they will throw that. I think pitchers get a better feel, command, and execution of a pitch when it is repeated.
