Legislator Kennedy's MLB Pitch, Hit & Run Competition

This is the fifth year that Legislator Kennedy and the Nesconset Athletic Association and the seventh year that
Scotts and Major League Baseball have sponsored the Pitch, Hit and Run
Competition which has allowed youth across the nation to participate in a free
baseball skills competition. Children, ages 7-14 may compete, with boys and
girls competing in different divisions, across four age groups.  A winner in each age group will be selected
for each skill contest and then an overall winner from each age group will be
chosen. These winners will advance to the sectional competition to be held in
the latter part of May.  From there, the
all around champions from the sectional competition will become eligible to
advance to the Team Championships to be held in June at all 30 MLB markets. The
competition concludes with the National Championships, where the top competitors
will compete during the 2014 MLB All-Star Week. The winners of the competition
will be honored prior to the 85th MLB All-Star Game, which will be
played at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.



The registration can be requested from Legislator Kennedy's Office at (631) 854-3735 or at www.mlb.com/phr.
