2024 Mid Michigan Umpire Clinic

So much experience! – HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any stage in your career as an umpire
A great refresher and they covered not only fundamentals but a lot of nuances that u just don’t get taught in a book.

Work stations included:
• Hand signals – and how to properly call out and safe – *(believe it or not – 3 levels of calling an out)
• Plate work – stance, timing, visualization
• First base A – position, timing, when to take eyes off play and to base, interference & obstruction
• B & C position – double plays – proper steps, pace of how fast we move, technique & timing
• Home plate – plays at the plate, movements & position relative to throws, Catcher and runner
• How to handle irate coaches with really good demonstrations
• Q&A session was really fun and interesting – anecdotes & stories of weird situations

This is incredible work by the team at Officials Depot. Dorantes and his organization has been very generous toward MMUC. Forever a company i’d recommend to anyone.
