13U pitching


Question
I coach a 13U travel team.  I would like to get a good bull pen session work out for our pitchers.  I want to stress the fast ball and change up, with very little if any junk balls.  What is a good bull pen session work out for boys this age?


Thanks

Answer
Hi Dave Beal,

I was going to write you a specific answer, but I found a pdf link that is directly on point:

I like how it is explained here and think it can be very effective for your group.  I agree with you that you should focus only on the fastball and changeup at this age group.  Also, pay extra attention to make sure the kids aren't throwing too many pitches.  At this age, the ASMI recommends keeping them under 53 to 68 pitches a day depending on the size and strength of the child.  

Good luck to your team in the upcoming season.

Best,
Jack Elliott
