The event will be limited to 200 participants and all fans must register by visiting the PlayBall Weekend Registration Page. Each participant will also receive a free Franklin bat and wiffle ball set at check-in on June 15 and the event is free for all registered participants. Parking for the “Bat like the ‘Birds” event will be free.
“Bat like the ‘Birds” will allow fans to take batting practice just like the Shorebirds. Participants will be split into 4 - 5 groups where they will be able to learn and interact with current Shorebirds players and coaches as they visit various stations just like the Shorebirds do when taking batting practice before a game. Participants will get to hit from home plate, learn bunting skills, hit off a tee, and much more providing a fun experience for all.
The Shorebirds “Bat like the ‘Birds” event is in partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB) and part of the PlayBall Weekend initiative where MLB and Minor League Baseball (MiLB) teams have teamed up to encourage kids to play baseball across all parts of the country through various different events.
“The Shorebirds are thrilled to partner with MLB on this awesome event for PlayBall Weekend again this season,” said Shorebirds General Manager Chris Bitters. “We are always excited to be able to create events like “Bat like the ‘Birds” that positively impact our community and also grow the sport of baseball on Delmarva.”
The Shorebirds will also take on the Salem Red Sox on Sunday, June 15 with a 2:05 First Pitch following the “Bat like the ‘Birds” event. Fans can purchase tickets at theshorebirds.com/tickets to secure seats to the game.
