We will technically take anyone at any age (with parental release) but ideally, a HS graduate.
Depending on what his umpiring goals are, the pro schools/PBUC look more favorably upon someone with a college degree. That's not to say they wouldn't advance someone without a degree, but the likelihood of someone moving through MiLB to MLB is pretty slim so they like to know that umpires have something to fall back on career wise.
