It will be interesting to see how his career develops if he chooses to pursue a job as a professional umpire. School? Rookie ball? Or maybe straight to AA.

The cba between the minor league umpire union and minor league baseball doesn't allow a jump straight to AA.

If he came out of PBUC as the number one umpire, and depending on the number of releases, he could start in short season A. If he were to continue to be rated the number one umpire in each league as he moves up, and there is an average number of end of season and middle season releases, he could reach AA mid way through his second year. Unlikely, but possible.

School first, then PBUC if he's good enough, then rookie ball if he's good enough. And you also have to think about his age and how long it will take him to move up.
