This grassroots program is designed to provide youngsters with an opportunity to compete; free of charge, in a competition that recognizes individual excellence in core baseball/softball skills.

Boys and girls are divided into four age divisions: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, and have the chance to advance through four levels of competition, including Team Championships at Major League ballparks and the National Finals at the 2014 MLB™ All-Star Game®. The individual Pitching, Hitting and Running Champions, along with the All-Around Champion in each age and gender group at the Local Competition will be awarded and advance to the Sectional Level of Competition. All participants must bring a copy of their birth certificate and have their parent or guardian fill out a registration/waiver form prior to the start of the competition. Registration/waiver forms will be available the day of the competition. Parents also have the option of filling out the online participant registration form. This form can be completed by a participant/parent at the PHR Homepage (www.mlb.com/phr) prior to attending the competition. The online participant registration form must be printed out, signed by a parent/guardian, and brought to the competition to be considered an official registration form.
