The Pitch, Hit & Run program is a free event series for boys and girls, and consists of a series of movements that are important in baseball and softball.
Participants will compete in either 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, or 13-14 age division, with the Age Cut-off set on November 15, 2025. They will be tested, and their measurements will be recorded for points.
