Umpires
Brighton Baseball has hired an officiating manager for the current baseball
season. This individual is responsible for the recruiting, training and
supervision
of our in house umpire crews. We presently use our own umpires in the
MINOR league programs, including both hardball and girls softball.
Our MAJOR Leagues employ the services of an outside umpire association.
Our
SIP and ROOKIE programs do not use umpires, emphasizing skill development
over competitive situations. It is getting increasingly difficult to
find outside qualified umpires as the ranks thin with the retirement
of senior officials. We therefore are trying to get ahead of the curve
in developing our in-house officiating program. As we go forward, it
is likely that we will expand our in-house program to include our
MAJOR leagues. Please contact our Director of Officiating, Jason Wasserman,
at coachwazz@yahoo.com or call
him at 256-7412.
