PITCH, HIT & RUN Youngsters may advance through four levels of competition – Local, Sectional, Team Championship (Target Field) and National Finals (2011 MLB All-Star Game).

Objectives

Pitch - The PITCH portion of the program will test how accurately a competitor can throw strikes from 45 feet to a designated "Strike Zone" target.

Hit - The HIT portion of the program will test a competitor's ability to hit a baseball from a stationary tee, along a tape measure from home plate, toward straight-away centerfield. Hits will be measured for distance and accuracy.

Run - The RUN portion of the program will measure a competitor's speed in a sprint from second base, around third, and across home plate.
