Pitch, Hit & Run score sheet and calculator
For hosts of a local event: check kids in by division, score the stations on paper or volunteers' phones, and get winners, tiebreaks and printouts. Free and independent, not MLB's site.
How it's scored: 5 pitches at the target (50 points, 100 for the bullseye), 5 hits off a tee scored by landing zone (15 to 200 each), and a 90 ft run, best of two, turned into points with MLB's chart (4.0 seconds is 550). Highest total wins each division. Full scoring

How Pitch, Hit & Run is scored
Every player does all three events. The overall score is pitch plus hit plus run, and the highest total in each division is the local champion. A player who misses one of the three events can't advance.
Pitch: 5 throws at the strike zone target
Baseball throws from 45 ft, softball from 35 ft, at the 17 by 30 inch target hung 20 inches off the ground. Overhand or underhand, one foot on the line, no run-up. Each throw that hits any part of the target is 50 points, and a bullseye is 100. Top score 500.
Hit: 5 swings off a tee
Every ball that lands fair counts, scored where it lands, not where it stops rolling. All five swings are added up, so the top score is 1,000.
| Lands | Points |
|---|---|
| Foul, or under 10 ft | 0 |
| Zone 1: 10 to 60 ft | 15 |
| Zone 2: 60 to 90 ft | 25 |
| Zone 3: 90 to 150 ft | 50 |
| Zone 4: 150 to 210 ft | 100 |
| Zone 5: 210 to 270 ft | 150 |
| Zone 6: 270 ft or more | 200 |
Run: 90 ft, best of two, then the conversion chart
Players start standing, like a lead off a base, and run straight through the line. The faster of two runs is looked up on the chart: 3.5 seconds is 600 points, each tenth slower is 10 fewer, down to 110 at 8.4. Anything 8.5 or slower is 100, and each tenth under 3.5 adds 10. Two false starts in a row cost that turn. No time on both runs scores 0 for the run.

From MLB's Pitch, Hit & Run Handbook, 2025 edition (the one MLB links for the 2026 season). Charts from 2021 and before (six pitches worth 75, hitting by distance minus inaccuracy, a 120 ft run, a July 17 age date) still circulate; this page follows the current handbook.
Age divisions: age on November 15
A player's age on November 15 sets the division: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 or 13/14, in baseball or softball, eight divisions in all. Events held after August 1, 2026 count toward the 2027 season, so they use November 15, 2027.
| Division | Born from | Born through |
|---|---|---|
| 7/8 | Nov 16, 2018 | Nov 15, 2020 |
| 9/10 | Nov 16, 2016 | Nov 15, 2018 |
| 11/12 | Nov 16, 2014 | Nov 15, 2016 |
| 13/14 | Nov 16, 2012 | Nov 15, 2014 |
MLB's FAQ lists 11/12U as born 11/15/15 to 11/15/16 and 13/14U as 11/15/13 to 11/15/14. Those are one year each, so a 12-year-old or 14-year-old falls in no group. The handbook's November 15 rule gives the two-year spans above.
Breaking a tie for first
The handbook gives hosts two ways. A pitch-off, when the tied players are both still there: 5 throws each, then 3, then one at a time, alternating, and the player with the higher pitch score picks who throws first (coin flip if those are tied too). Or head to head, when they competed at different times: most event wins in the division, then better score in two of the three events, then pitch, hit and run in that order. Tiebreak throws are never added to the total sent to MLB. With three or more tied, the top pitch-off scores go on each round. Only first place is broken; other ties stay shared (2=). The Results tab walks you through both.
Questions hosts and parents ask
How is Pitch, Hit & Run scored?
Three events, added together. Pitch: 5 throws, 50 points for hitting the target and 100 for the bullseye. Hit: 5 swings off a tee, 0 to 200 points each by where the ball lands. Run: 90 ft, best of two times, turned into points with the run conversion chart. The highest total wins each age division.
What is a good Pitch, Hit & Run score?
MLB doesn't publish averages. Pitching tops out at 500 and hitting at 1,000, and a 3.5 second run is worth 600, so totals run from a few hundred to a little over 2,000. Compare players only within the same division.
How do stopwatch hundredths fit a chart in tenths?
The handbook doesn't say. This page scores a time in the tenth it falls in, so 4.37 counts as 4.3 (520 points). That is the only reading that agrees with the chart's own "8.5 seconds or more is 100", since 8.49 is not 8.5. If your group rounds to the nearest tenth instead, change it under Event details.
What if a player skips a station or leaves early?
They can still be scored for what they did, but the handbook says a player who does not compete in all three events is not eligible to advance. This page lists them as unfinished, not in the standings, and they still get a participation certificate.
How many winners does a local event have?
One champion per division: baseball and softball, each in 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14, so up to eight. Local champions go into a pool, and the top scores are invited to a Team Championship. Events run by MLB or Minor League clubs, or with 175 or more pre-registered players, send their winners straight through.
When and how do I send results to MLB?
The handbook asks for results on MLB's results page within 24 hours (the FAQ says 48), and scores for everyone who took part within a week. The Results tab lists each champion's numbers ready to type in and downloads every player's scores for Excel or Sheets.
Do players have to register with MLB first?
Yes. Every player must be registered through the host's MLB registration link, or the walk-up link on the day, or they can't advance. This page is only for running and scoring your event.
Is this an official MLB tool?
No. It is an independent helper built from MLB's published Pitch, Hit & Run handbook, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by MLB or RCX Sports. Check the current handbook when a new season starts.
