Major League Baseball to Host Free, One-Day Umpire Camp at Marlins Park in Miami on Saturday, June 27th
Major League Baseball will host a free, one-day umpire camp at Marlins Park in Miami, Florida on Sunday, June 27th. Staff for the event will include many accomplished former MLB Umpires, current MLB Supervisors and Observers, as well as Minor League and NCAA officials, including Bruce Froemming, Charlie Reliford, Ed Rapuano, Rich Rieker, Cris Jones and Steve Rippley.
This is MLB's third free, one-day umpire camp of 2015 for anyone interested in umpiring in baseball and softball, including those aiming to begin professional careers. In total, six events will be held in 2015, culminating with the MLBUC Professional Mini-Camp in Ft. Myers, Florida in December.
| Location | Date & Time |
| Marlins Park 501 Marlins Way, Miami, Florida 33125 | Saturday, June 27th 2015 (rain or shine) 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (Registration begins at 8:00 a.m.) |
Nineteen attendees from last year's clinics went on to the MLB Professional Mini-Camp at no cost. Nine of the Ft. Myers attendees in 2014 advanced on MLB scholarships to the two professional umpire schools this past January, and most will begin their professional careers this June. Over 100 attendees of MLB Umpire Camps have gone on to work in professional baseball since 2006.
