$3,500 for Regionals, $2,000 for Supers and now $10,000 for CWS, transportation provided, room provided and $45 per diem. also food in locker room. crew chiefs get extra $300 for working Regionals, Supers, or CWS sighted so far in first 3 games, by box score. not the entire list which was on here but then taken down, which included alternates etc. will add others as they appear in box score. Jason Bradley, Rick Allen, Kevin Sweeney, Billy Van Raaphorst, Derrick Mollica, Brian Miller, Mark Wagers, Brandon Cooper, Linus Baker, Jake Uhlenhopp. sorry for grammatical errors.

sounds good as an interim system, until they get full abs like the sec just used, and using the 1 umpire (PU) only system.

great for 1 man crew, by working behind mound (just like mcclelland did one year in STraining), and also calling bases from behind the mound.

So, how did the ABS work for the SEC tournament? the 19 inch plate part along with a bigger high to low area seem like good ideas. the 3 challenges seems much better to account for most umpires probably having scores each game being between 88 to 98. So if you challenge, overturn/confirm, overturn/confirm, overturn/ confirm that takes care of 6 pitches for each team and the 88-98 range for the 2-12 mistakes. midpoint of the plate is used for ABS. and of course you can pick umpires based on their plate scores only, every year. I would think the umpires working would change from year to year, and not be the exact same yearly. now some may get it 4 out of 5 years, but hey, they got the scores to go. and if ever implemented for the season, the best non con guys with the best plate scores get to be the ones that move up to conference. now it provides a system and can be implemented better than the MLB system with its good points and fallacies, and maybe MLB would use some of the college initiated uses of the ABS system. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tap-hat-sec-unveils-abs-023745121.html?guccounter=1

guess this coach did not get the above first 2 categories of the NFHS POE in Louisiana. Sorry you umpires in Louisiana even have to think about ever having to deal with something like this. the principle should have been quick and meted out his own personal punishment to the coach first, and then told the coach he will also get double whatever the state does, tacked on. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YsTNfMFmlWg&pp=ygUhbG91aXNpYW5hIGJhc2ViYWxsIGNvYWNoIGRpc3JvYmVz

because i vetted it with this one on youtube, and forgot to switch out the old original post, maybe this will pass muster. nobody else like you brought this up for a learning experience/takeaway (for which you so amply provided (thank you) for the younger guys, and/but why is the technique you mentioned not so well known???) for those who will be will be trying to enter collegiate like you one day, which johnny 08 does a hell of a job doing, to show all umpires have their plays. not specifically just pro guys, t-ball league umps, juco umps, high school umps, all leagues to learn from. there is also a play right at the beginning of the new one provided that you could comment on with the swipe tag with positioning etc. before the ejection (3:05) one starts within the first 2 minutes. not many Horizon League situations get posted here either. only the hot shot power 5, leagues tend to show up. just showing their league umps a little love with plays and ejections that happen all over the US, once again hoping collegiate guys like yourself or more experienced umps and others will comment/take away for umpires all over. and i was busy watching Fritz in his tennis match and pictures of morgan, only to find out they have broken up. and, how do we stop this commentary at the collegiate level and all leagues from top to bottom. maybe the academia paper, the right call, or the squeaky wheel gets the oil theory. https://collegefootballnetwork.com/baseball/pittsburgh-coach-bully-acc/

don't those black trunks in the pictures (or the background) they put them in rock anymore.

@MadMax so you mean, the 2nd and 4th pictures below aren't "rocking" the official equipment bag experience? https://www.ttnews.com/articles/two-freight-carriers-make-sure-mlb-umpires-gear-always-safe-and-arrives-time

dang you guys are still using Dial-Up or DSL services hugh, or about 2-3 million total of you left. bunch of dinosaurs

why does umpire auditor say segal missed 27 pitches and ump scorecards says 22. since they both basically seem to infer they are the best source, 5 pitch discrepancy seems like a lot. what gives for all you stat guys who understand all these systems that are used. https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2026/05/18/the-home-plate-umpire-for-the-cubs-sox-finale-was-brutally-awful/
