We know it’s cold and wet out, but here’s a good, fun, sporty and warm thing to think about – local baseball team the Dub Sea Fish Sticks announced this week that they will be hosting two MLB JR. Home Run Derby Events in 2023.

The first is a qualifier event which is FREE for both youth baseball players 14 & under and softball players ages 16 & under.

This event will take place inside “The Fryer” at Steve Cox Memorial Park in White Center on Sunday, May 7, 2023.

The Fish Sticks also announced that they have been selected by MLB to be one of 8 national hosts for the JR Home Run Derby Regional Competitions.

Local winners from the qualifier event will compete against other kids from across the country for a chance to compete inside T-Mobile Park as part of the MLB All-Star Game Week for the championship.

The regional event will take place on Thursday, July 6, 2023, and winners will move onto the championship at T-Mobile Park on Saturday, July 8, 2023.
