I'm 19 and have been IHSA certified for 3 years. I mainly do our summer leagues here in town because school stuff tends to get in the way of spring and fall ball. Now, I think the age level makes a huge difference in what I enjoy umpiring. If i'm doing the little people 9-10 or younger, baseball all the way. The pitchers there at least hit the plate everyonce in a while and not every pitch is a rainbow like it is in "fastpitch" at that age. However, when we start talking jr. high/high school age and up, I would honestly prefer working softball. From my experience, softball games (when played by good teams at that age level) are very up tempo and quick. Baseball seems to drag un unnessecarily long at times. However, I love doing both sports and wouldn't give either of them up at this point. Just my personal opinion.
