My point being, as an umpire, it is not my job to tell whether the player was unconscious, it is a medical professional. In this case, the medical professional is the Athletic Trainer. This is another case of an official thinking they are more important then they really are.

I totally disagree
This has nothing to do with an official thinking they are more important then the game. It is the case of an official KNOWING and FOLLOWING the rules.
Regardless of what you think the rules DO NOT say Athletic Trainer. They say from
a physician (MD/DO).
This is an amateur baseball game and the team "can live' without this player for the remainder of the game.
Remember it's a GAME
