I got one of the prototypes as well. Love the low pro design, contoured quite well to my body. Took a direct foul ball in a D2 scrimmage about as square as it could get. Felt the impact, said ow instinctively but it didn’t actually hurt. Looking forward to breaking it out again
When I was there in 20, we had a week of high 40s weather. The fields are only a few miles from the beach so with the wind, it gets very cold there, for Florida standards. One of my last partners is an instructor and he said it’s been a cold a*s month
I have a lightly used 46L plate coat made by out west. Used less than 10 games. I got a better fitting one so no longer need this one. Looking for $200 OBO plus shipping. Pm for pics
When I was there 16-18, it was mandatory to work at least 2 games. Granted, they weren’t technically paying umpires then but they had us do at least 2. $75 with lodging and food is a pretty good deal btw
If you can do it, do it. On another note, unless you’re looking to get picked up in a major D1 conference, you should’ve gone to whatever tryout your college group was having. Lower levels of college ball are hurting for umpires. Now is the best time to get looked at
I have a used but in great condition mizuno umpire mask. The rubber has been stripped off and the frame powder coated making it significantly lighter. Selling for a friend. $225 obo. Pm for pics
