Pitch: The
PITCH portion of the program will test how accurately a competitor
can throw strikes to a designated "Strike Zone" target
from a designated distance (35 feet for the girls softball
division and 45 feet for the boys baseball division). Any
method of underhand/overhand pitching or throwing is accepted.
An attempt hitting ANY
portion of the target will be deemed a strike.
Hit: Hitting a baseball/softball from a stationary tee, as close as possible to the "center line" (directly away from home plate across second base into center field). Final score is determined from the location the ball initially lands, minus the distance from the "center line." Run: The RUN portion of the program will measure a competitor's speed in a sprint from the start line, touching third base, and across home plate. Participants in the boys baseball division run a total of 160 feet, whereas those in the girls softball division run a total of 120 feet. |
