The City of Mesquite Athletics & Leisure Services Department in partnership with Major League Baseball will host a free event, Major League Baseball JR. Home Run Derby Competition for the local youth boys and girls.

The event will be Wednesday, April 22, at 6:30 p.m. at Pioneer Park Complex Field 1.

The competition is open to all boys and girls age 14 and under. All participants compete together in one of two age groups (12U or 14U). A participant’s age is determined as of July 17, 2020. Therefore, if a participant’s date of birth is on or after July 18, 2007, he/she will compete in the 12U age group. If a participant’s date of birth is July 18, 2005 – July 17, 2007, he/she will compete in the 14U age group.

The winners of local and regional contests will ultimately compete in the National Finals during Major League Baseball All-Star Week.

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. For questions concerning the competition, please contact your local coordinator Zach Robison, zrobison@mesquitenv.gov.
