20 Pitch Youth Bullpen Routine

Youth Baseball Pitching Expert and 1st Round Draft Pick for the Colorado Rockies, Mike Nikorak shares a 20 Pitch Youth Bullpen Routine and a video to help your players get ready for their game.

The 20 Pitch Bullpen Routine Every Pitcher Needs

Build consistency, command, and confidence on the mound with a simple, structured plan.

The Challenge

Most youth pitchers step into the bullpen without a plan. They throw until they feel done, wasting pitches, developing bad habits, and leaving the mound less prepared than when they started. A proper bullpen isn’t about throwing more—it’s about throwing with purpose.

Get the Bullpen Routine

That’s why we created the 20 Pitch Bullpen Routine

It’s a simple, repeatable system designed to give every pitcher an approach and throw with a purpose. In just 20 pitches, players focus on location, movement, and execution—without overdoing it.

The Routine

6 Four-Seam Fastballs (Glove Side)
6 Four-Seam Fastballs (Arm Side)
4 Two-Seam Fastballs (Middle)
4 Two-Seam Fastballs (Arm Side)

20 purposeful pitches total—enough to train, but not overwork.
