Well, then!

Let's see your strike and out call...see if Bryant got it right!

You know what the crazy thing is about this video...there are people in the stands that probably "love how clear he gives the signals" and lets people know what's going on. "He doesn't just stand there like the regular boring umps." I'm sure he gets positive feedback on his style from the crowd.

Bad part, his father is an umpire but he is wearing a catcher's protector. Makes you wonder if it's the chest protector his father uses.

Obviously he hasn't been trained...it appears as though the desire is there. If he's receptive to feedback and invests in some gear...at least some black shoes, he may not look like "blue" and instead an umpire.

I work fastpitch softball with that chest protector. It was cheap to get started and I just haven't upgraded to something nice yet. Does it make a real difference?

I would at least get something with hard shoulder caps but they're your shoulders. :)

The first sharp foul ball to the collar bone and you will see the difference it makes!

It is only important if you like: discolored and sore places on your chest and shoulders, arms that can't be raised above your shoulders, you feel like you are going to die every time you take a breath, etc.. I hope you get my point. When I first started out, I felt invincible; was I ever wrong.

That protector is only applicable to T-Ball for an umpire. When F2 is wearing the protector, he has a glove between him and the pitch.
