Thanks for sharing. That's some good stuff


I never thought about all the reps that the umpires lost during the last year - limited summer games, no fall games, often not allowed on campus for practice games.

All that adds up. And they can't spend any time together before or after the game to share experiences and knowledge.

"The #1 factor in a consistent strike zone is reps" and they haven't necessarily had those.

And she lost 25% of her umpires due to opting out for the season. Consequently she has a lot of new umpires.
