What is Pitch Hit & Run?

Major League Baseball® Pitch, Hit & Run™ (PHR™) is a free event that creates a safe and fun environment for kids to stay active and learn or continue to play baseball and softball in their local communities. Participation gives the athletes a chance to compete and earn a spot in a Team Championship or National Finals.

The Pitch Hit & Run competition is for boys and girls 7 to 14 years old, and consists of a series of movements that are important in baseball and softball. Athletes are tested, and their measurements are recorded. Based on their scores, they may advance from a local event to a Team Championship and then to the National Finals, which is held during the 2023 MLB® World Series.
