Pitch Hit & Run is the official skills competition of Major League Baseball. It's a grassroots program designated to provide youth with an opportunity to compete, free of charge, in a competition that recognizes individual excellence in core baseball / softball skills.
Boys and girls are divided into four age divisions: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14 year olds. They have a chance to advance through four levels of competition, including Team Championships at Major League ballparks (Target Field in Minneapolis) and the National Finals at the 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
All participants must bring a copy of their birth certificate and have their parent/guardian fill out a registration/waiver form prior to the start of competition.
