Reds Youth Baseball Showcase

The Cincinnati Reds lit up the diamond this past Friday with their big youth baseball event, part of MLB’s global PLAY BALL initiative — and it was pure magic. Hundreds of kids ages seven to fourteen battled it out in the official Pitch, Hit & Run competition at the Reds Youth Academy, showcasing their skills with the chance to advance to a regional showdown in August. Top performers could win an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2026 World Series. Beyond the games, the day was packed with fun: mascots, DJs, face painting, food trucks, and every kid left with a bat, ball, and a Reds hat. It’s not just about baseball — it’s about building the next generation of fans and players, one pitch, hit, and run at a time. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
