Having a proficient level of rules knowledge empowers umpires to have greater confidence and accuracy when making split-second calls. This in turn improves their ability to effectively explain rule interpretations and establish superior game management skills. Rules knowledge is vital to becoming a respected umpire.

An effective baseball rules resource should take a reader directly to a rule, use straightforward language to convey a clear and decisive interpretation, and retain accuracy. NCAA Baseball Rules in Black and White: 2019 – 2020 is that resource!

While umpiring over the last two decades, he has ruled on thousands of plays providing him with an umpire’s perspective of knowing which rules are frequently called during most every game. He has spent a lifetime in baseball, two decades umpiring, attended dozens of camps and clinics, and had many mentors.
