Lone Star Skill and Drills Contest
 

This year's Lone Star Skills Competition will consist of four (4) events: 

  • Home Run Derby,
  • "Around the Horn"

The competition is design to insure that as many players on the team participate in one event.  If we determine any player has participated in more than 1 event, he will be disqualified for all events, including the Around the Horn, therefore not eligible of any awards.

Each player will report to the designated field.  Once the event starts, the gates to the field will be CLOSED and NO other player(s) will be allowed.  Therefore, please make sure everyone is in the designated place in plenty of time.

Once the gates closed, the judges will log each player and the event will begin.

Home Run Derby:

  1. There will be no more than two participants per team
  2. The coach will pitch to his own batter. 
  3. Each batter will get a TOTAL of 5 OUTS and 2 NO SWINGS. 
  4. Anything other than a HOME RUN will be considered an out.
  5. The batter(s) who has the most home runs will advance to next round.  "Rounds" will continue until we have a winner.
  6. If no home runs are hit during the first round, we will take the longest hit.

Around the Horn:

  1. It will be based on the fastest time.
  2. Each team will have 2 attempts, the fastest time will be recorded.
  3. The sequence will be pitcher to catcher; catcher to third, third to second; second to shortstop; shortstop to first; first to home. 
  4. The time will begin and end with the catcher. 
  5. Player will begin, catch and throw from their normal playing position.  IF THE JUDGE DETEREMINES players are "creeping in", the attempted will not be counted.
  6. A reverse sequence will be acceptable.
