Four Base Award Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Official press release from last month 8/17/2022- "With the recent announcement that Major League Baseball will be recruiting, training, and developing their prospective umpires exclusively, the Minor League Baseball Umpire Training Academy will cease operations immediately." Given the radical changes to how professional umpires are recruited and trained, I believe this forum section should be retired. MiLB Umpire Academy no longer exists and I have not seen much discussion about the change on this forum. I think it is important to recognize this reality for any prospective umpires thinking about the professional path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Wendelstedt still remains open. It will still provide candidates to the advanced course at the former spring training/MiLB Academy site in Vero Beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
