There are three events that each player participates in: The PITCH portion of the program will test how accurately a competitor can throw strikes to a designated “Strike Zone” target. The HIT portion of the program will test a competitor’s ability to hit from a stationary tee for distance and accuracy. The RUN portion of the program will measure a competitor’s speed in a sprint from second base, around third, and across home plate.
