In 2021, Baseball PEI and its minor baseball associations are hosting MLB Pitch, Hit & Run events across the province in late June. There are five being hosted by minor baseball associations across the Island in late June, with the top two competitors in each age category from each event advancing to a Provincial final, in Summerside, on Saturday, 10 July.
What is MLB Pitch, Hit & Run? Although there are some differences, it is quite similar to the Honda Hit, Run and Throw that used to take place annually across Prince Edward Island. Check out this link for a description of the program, its rules and more information: https://www.mlb.com/pitch-hit-and-run.
There are girls’ and boys’ divisions at the following age categories: 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U. The top two point-getters in both the girls’ and boys’ division at each age category, at each event, will be invited to participate in a Provincial Final in Summerside on Saturday, 10 July. Also, there is an opportunity for top point-getters to advance to a regional event with eastern Canada in August/September (that is conditional based on current restrictions in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic).
It is free, and it is open to all boys and girls (regardless of whether they are registered to play minor baseball or not). To participate, each player must register online (the deadline for online registration is seven [7] days before the event). The links to each event are below:
