Angels host local Pitch, Hit & Run competition
- Updated: May 28, 2016
ANAHEIM — Several children got to live out their dreams Saturday morning — playing on the field at Angel Stadium.
Scotts MLB Pitch, Hit & Run, the official youth skills competition of Major League Baseball, held its latest event Saturday morning as 24 participants — 12 boys and 12 girls — took part in the team championship stage.
The event took part in three stages. The pitch stage tested a player’s ability to throw strikes either from 45 feet for baseball or 35 feet for softball. Each player got six attempts to throw into what is considered a standard Major League strike zone. The hitting portion required participants to hit off a tee, aiming for both distance and accuracy in their three attempts, while the running portion measured the participant’s speed beginning from second base, rounding third and touching home plate.
