Pitch, Hit & Run is the Official Skills Competition of Major League Baseball. The Pitch portion of the program will test how accurately a competitor can throw strikes to a designated “Strike Zone” target. The Hit portion of the program will test a competitor’s ability to hit from a stationary tee for distance and accuracy. The Run portion will measure a competitor’s speed in a sprint from second base.
