Umpire Training Conducted by Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring

Bases loaded... One out... The shortstop intentionally drops a lazy pop-up near the second base bag... He recovers the ball quickly and tags out a surprised runner off the bag at second. Is the runner out... Batter out... Or... Both Out?

Students work on 15 plate criteria which Jim has defined as essential to becoming the complete plate umpire. Cage work is videotaped and students are given the tapes at the end of each session to review later in the video review room at the hotel. These tapes are retained by students after completion of the course. You leave the Academy with hours of videotaped instruction which you can refer to long after graduation.
