MLB Pitch, Hit & Run
Step up to the Majors with Pitch Hit & Run!
Major League Baseball Pitch Hit & Run is a free event that provides boys and girls -- ages 7 to 14 -- an opportunity to showcase their baseball and softball skills, while earning a chance to attend and perform during the MLB World Series!
Athletes are tested, and their measurements are recorded. Based on their scores, they advance from a local event to the Team Championship held at Coors Field. Top scores then qualify for an all-expenses-paid trip for two to compete at Finals, which is hosted at the World Series.
The event is FREE, but all athletes must register before the event. Use the link below and register today!

Skills
- Pitch: Athletes are tested on the accuracy of their throw. They get five attempts to hit the strike zone from a designated pitching line. Each time they hit the target they receive 50 points, 100 points for a bullseye.
- Hit: Athletes hit the ball off a tee as far as possible. They can adjust the tee to their desired height, and they receive 5 tries. Each ball receives points depending on what zone it lands in -- the score is based off where it lands, not where it rolls.
- Run: Athletes are measured to see how quickly they can run from home to first base. Each participant gets two attempts to run, and their fastest score is recorded.
