PLAY BALL Weekend

In partnership with MLB and RCX Sports, the Arizona Diamondbacks will host a Pitch, Hit & Run competition exclusive to players in this year’s 26th annual D-backs Inter-Tribal Youth Baseball & Softball Tournament! This is an exciting opportunity for Native youth players to kickoff this year’s tournament as a part of MLB PLAY BALL Weekend!

The event will take place on Sunday, June 7 at 6:00 pm at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.

Pitch Hit & Run is a free event that provides boys and girls, ages 7 to 14, an opportunity to showcase their baseball and softball skills, while earning a chance to attend and perform during the MLB World Series! Athletes are tested, and their measurements are recorded. Based on their scores, they advance from a local event to a Team Championship held in MLB stadiums. Top scores then qualify for an all-expenses-paid trip for two to compete at Finals, which is hosted at the World Series.

The benefits of registering for a Pitch, Hit & Run event include the opportunity to receive a complimentary 2026 MLB.TV subscription, exclusive access to virtual and in-person youth softball & baseball programming, discounts on MLB-licensed merchandise and equipment, and much more! Best of all, it's completely FREE!
