2023 Referee Training Center Catalog

[Scotty_Ump]

Got the 2023 Referee Umpires Training Catalog in the mail today.

I'll usually get the NFHS Rules by Topic whenever there's a major rule update (like the P/DH change), and I bought the CCA Manual from them in 2019.

Any recommendations on other baseball resources they offer?

Everything Baseball Pitchers Can and Can’t Do and Say What? How to Respond to Baseball Players and Coaches look interesting - has anybody read these and found them valuable?

I find the Prep Baseball Guide to be very good.  

The Pitchers publication was very good as well as the base awards.

I wish they provided more flexibility in the Training Package.  The mechanics manual has not really changed in several years.  Maybe they could adjust it to two standard publications (Prep Annual and Preseason Guide) and allow officials to pick three other publications from a select group.
