I spoke with the man organizing this clinic about just that. He told me that last year they had less than a hundred umpires attend the clinic. The classroom work on two man mechanics is run by MiLB guys who donate their time. The field work is run by both MiLB guys and three of the the six MLB umpires I mentioned in the first post. They plan on running six stations with three stations being cage work instruction with one of the MLB guys at each cage. Not a poorly spent $60.00, in my opinion.
Tim.
