Pay Rates for High School Baseball Umpires

[bossman72]

Here in my part of PA, the pay amount varies by school and area. On average, varsity is 50-55, JV is 40-45 below JV is slightly lower.

In the summer, our association sets a $45 flat rate for all games except for men's over 30, which we get 50 since they play 9 innings.


There is no travel/mileage fee in either.

We have a pretty good deal in our association and the two regions we call. $60 for first 7 inning game or single game and $50 for 2d game of DH. No mileage but higher game fees than most of the state. Same rate whether varsity or junior varsity/freshmen. Of course one of the two regions we call has had a team in the state championship game the last 6 years in a row and won five of them. The quality of baseball, even at the JV level, is great and the fans really know their stuff. Thus, the coaches, players and fans expect A LOT from their umpires. Top notch appearance, rules knowledge, hustle and mechanics are a must. Not much room for error or sloppy umpiring. I only have met two guys in our association I could think might be called a Smitty or a Charlie and they only call JV ball. I call other places in the summer and nothing comes close around here to the high school ball in the spring.

In Massachusetts, it's $70 for varsity, $49 for JV. One umpire games are fee-and-a-half. No mileage. Games played under OBR-based rules.
