Area youth to compete in Major League Baseball® Pitch Hit & Run™ Competition

Wicomico County Recreation, Parks & Tourism will host a free Major League Baseball® Pitch Hit & Run™ Competition for area youth on April 5 (softball) and April 12 (baseball).

Each event will begin at 6 p.m. at the Henry S. Parker Athletic Complex, located at 711 W. Naylor Mill Road in Salisbury.

Pitch Hit & Run™ is the official skills competition of Major League Baseball®. This grassroots program is designed to provide youngsters with an opportunity to compete, free of charge, in a competition that recognizes individual excellence in core baseball/softball skills.

Boys and girls are divided into four age divisions – 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14 – and have the chance to advance through four levels of competition, including Team Championships at Major League ballparks and the National Finals during the 2019 MLB™ All-Star Week®. Each participant’s age is determined as of July 17, 2019.

The individual pitching, hitting and running champions and the all-around champion in each division at the local competition will be awarded and advance to the sectional level of competition.

All participants must bring a copy of a valid birth document for age verification and have their parent or guardian fill out a registration/waiver form prior to the start of the competition.

Registration is available at www.PitchHitRun.com. Direct links to register for the Henry S. Parker Athletic Complex competitions can be found at www.WicomicoRecandParks.org.
