The vast majority of people who watch baseball can properly call 95% of all plays that happen on the field. My job is to teach you how to call the other 5%.

As a youngster, I played in Little League, Pony League, and all sorts of amateur baseball programs growing up.

Looking back on those games, I probably hustled out of position as much as I hustled into position since I really never had any real training. I was working on instincts alone.

The Florida State League was considered the top A-league back then. You played in the spring training parks of major league teams, traveled throughout some great cities in Florida, and the pay was the best in A-ball.

My main objective is to prepare candidates for professional baseball; however, the majority of our graduates will go home as much better qualified amateurs.

Most plays that are missed by the umpire are caused by the umpire not reading those cues early enough and making the proper adjustments.

I reached the point where I actually enjoyed the umpiring more than playing.
