GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — An umpiring clinic was held at Grand Rapids Community College Saturday to help sharpen fundamentals and mechanics of the state’s officials.
It gave Michigan High School Athletic Association umpires the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming baseball season that will start as the snow begins to melt. The training sessions are critical in keeping a young umpire prepared for all the challenges a new official faces before, during and after any game.
