Major League Baseball set to host second Umpire Camp of 2025

Major League Baseball will host its second Umpire Camp of 2025 at the Texas Rangers Youth Academy on Saturday, May 17^th. The one-day camp is free to attend for anyone interested in pursuing a career as a professional umpire, improving their current umpiring skills, or learning more about the umpiring profession.

Participants will work with MLB’s Umpiring Department Staff, which consists of former MLB Umpires and current MLB Supervisors, to hone the skills necessary to umpire at all levels. At the conclusion of the one-day camp, individuals may be offered an opportunity to attend the MLB Umpire Prospect Development Camp at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex in Vero Beach, Florida. This four-week course, which is invitation-only and all-expenses paid, convenes in January and provides invitees with an opportunity to compete for a position as an umpire in professional baseball.

Following a successful first MLB Umpire Camp on April 26^th in Arizona, Dallas will host the second of five free camps scheduled for 2025. The schedule of upcoming MLB Umpire Camp dates and locations is listed below. Those harboring aspirations of pursuing a career in professional umpiring or looking to refine their amateur officiating skills are encouraged to visit MLBUC.com, where registration is currently open for the May 17^th camp in Texas and the June 28^th camp in Connecticut.

MLB Umpire Camps began in 2006 at the MLB Youth Academy in Compton, California. Current Major League Umpires Adam Beck, Nestor Ceja, Ramon De Jesus, Malachi Moore, Edwin Moscoso and Carlos Torres all attended MLB Umpire Camps prior to reaching the Major Leagues. In addition to producing numerous Major League Umpires, the free one-day Umpire Camps held across the country now serve as the main gateway into professional baseball.
