Hey guys, just out of curiosity, how much does a guy working in the Majors make? Also, anyone know about what one would expect for college and then minor league games as well. A few buddies of mine were wondering, and aside from little leage and high school ball, I don't have the knowledge to tell them.

D-3 and JuCo ball in IL is about $10 / scheduled inning.

A couple of years ago, low minors (Class A) was about $2,000 / month + $20 / day per-diem.

I think they start in the majors at around 105,000 now, with the most senior umpires making around $380,000. The last contract also calls for a 4% raise a year (I think)....check worldumpires.com they probably have it in a recent news release.

Hey, U of I, hope this helps:

From Tom Leppard, Director, Umpire Administration, MLB (from MLB.com)

"Professional umpires currently begin their Minor League career at $1,800 per month. At the Major League level, salaries range from approximately $84,000 to $300,000 per year."
