How to Umpire Baseball and Softball
The book, How to Umpire Baseball and Softball – An Introduction to Basic Umpiring Skills, is an insider’s guide to the basic skills necessary to excel as an umpire.
It is the product of former professional umpire Steve Boga’s countless discussions with partners, hours of field time, and much reflection.
The book is designed to help both individual umpires and those charged with training umpires at all levels of baseball and softball.
The rich resource section includes a short history of umpiring and a quiz with questions on everything from rules to mechanics.
The DVD, You Be the Judge: An Introduction to Basic Umpiring Skills, narrated by Hank Greenwald, former broadcaster for the San Francisco Giants, is an invaluable guide for umpires, aspiring umpires, and umpire trainers.
The video companion to the book How to Umpire Baseball and Softball, by Steve Boga, this 30-minute, professionally produced DVD lays out the skills necessary to become the best umpire ever-the same skills needed whether you’re charged with your 10-year-old’s Little League game or headed to AAA.
