Kids Show Off Their Baseball Skills At Provident Bank Park

The Rockland Boulders hosted the local qualifier for the Aquafina Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run Competition on Saturday at Provident Bank Park in Pomona.

The free competition was for boys and girls ages 7-14.  Pitch, Hit & Run is the Official Skills Competition of Major League Baseball. 

This grass-roots program is designed to provide children with an opportunity to compete in an event that recognizes individual excellence in core baseball/softball skills. The Pitch portion of the program tested how accurately a competitor can throw strikes to a designated “Strike Zone” target.  The Hit portion of the program tested a competitor’s ability to hit from a stationary tee for distance and accuracy. 

The Run portion measured a competitor’s speed in a sprint from second base.   Competitors were divided into four age divisions:  7-8, 9-10, 11-12, and 13-14.
