PITCH, HIT & RUN is designed to test three of the most fundamental aspects of baseball: pitching, hitting & running. 

    PITCH
The participant is tested throwing strikes to a designated "Strike Zone" target.
    HIT
Allows the youngster to hit a ball off a stationary tee for distance and accuracy.  
    RUN
The youngster is timed, starting from second base, touching third and then home. 
 

Skill events are individually scored and converted to a total point score through the use of conversion tables. Each participant will compete in each of the three components of PITCH, HIT & RUN and accumulate a total score based on his or her performance. There are four levels of competition that exist for PITCH, HIT & RUN: Locals, Sectionals, Team Championships and the National Finals.

Local Competitions (March – mid May)
All participants must first compete at this level of competition. Over 3,000 competitions will be held nationwide with the pitching, hitting & running and all-around champions in each age group advancing to the Sectional Competitions.

Sectional Competitions (mid May – late May)
Approximately 250 Sectional Competitions will be conducted with the youngsters competing in the same individual skill events. Only the Sectional all-around champions in each age group will have the opportunity to advance to the PITCH, HIT & RUN Team Championships.

Team Championships (June)
Each Major League Baseball team hosts a Team Championship for the top scorers within their geographic market. The all-around champions in each age group will have their scores nationally ranked to determine the top performers advancing to the National Finals.

National Finals (July)
Hosted during the All-Star Week, these 16 youngsters (four in each age group) participate in the All-Star festivities and are exclusive guests of Major League Baseball. A National Champion is declared after the National Finals Competition on Workout Day.
