PITCH - The participant is tested throwing strikes to a designated "Strike Zone" target.

HIT - Allows the youngster to hit a ball off a stationary tee for distance and accuracy.

RUN - The youngster is timed, starting from second base, touching third and then home. Skill events are individually scored and converted to a total point score through the use of conversion tables. Each participant will compete in each of the three components of PITCH, HIT & RUN and accumulate a total score based on his or her performance. There are four levels of competition that exist for PITCH, HIT & RUN: Locals, Sectionals, Team Championships and the National Finals to be held during the 2005 Major League Baseball All Star game.
