I’ve watched the UMPs during the Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday games and I have to say that the pair I saw Monday night were a joy to watch. These two older gentlemen were true Pro’s that used very good mechanics and applied the rules consistently throughout the game. The PU used the scissors stance and was rock steady on his strike zone the entire game.
I must say these two were the only two who were consistent and up to the job.
If calling balls and strikes is only half the game, then most of the umpire I have seen at this tournament should only get paid half because that was all they did and they did that poorly.

Just curious, what's wrong with Fed Shirts and heather gray slacks. They are standard requirement for all high school games in Ohio. And since CVBA is little boys ( under high school age ) baseball, they should have been pleased to have high school umpires.
Just curious, what is wrong with two ball bags - if they match? MLB umpires wear two. Many college umpires I watch wear two. Heck, I wear two - and I have them in black and in blue.
OK the silver tipped belt probably wouldn't fly in a high school game ( shouldn't anyway ). But CVBA. . . . .?? It's little boy ball ( again, under high school age ), or maybe freshman at best. Is it THAT important in summer ball?
Just curious.
Of course it is just my opinion.
