On June 9, the Dodgers hosted the annual MLB Pitch Hit & Run Team Championship competition where the top 12 boy and girl qualifiers from Southern California and Hawaii competed on the field at Dodger Stadium. MLB Pitch, Hit & Run is a free, exciting skills event for boys and girls ages 7-14 where participants have the opportunity to compete in four levels of competition including Team Championship events at all 30 Major League ballparks and the National Finals at the MLB All-Star Game.

The Dodgers congratulate and will be cheering for Jaden Lyburtus of Guadalupe, CA , one of three 11/12 year old boys national finalists who will compete in New York before the All-Star Game. For information about hosting a local competition go to www.mlb.com/phr.
