MiLB Umpire Academy

The Minor League Baseball Umpire Training Academy was created by Minor League Baseball and is a natural extension of our efforts to expand and enhance umpire training at all levels. We have tabbed members of Minor League Baseball Umpire Development to drive the curriculum and instruction. This provides our students the one-of-a-kind opportunity to accelerate their development through Minor League Baseball Umpire Development’s unique knowledge and experience in training all Minor League Baseball umpires and developing them for a possible Major League Baseball umpire position. Since Minor League Baseball Umpire Development’s inception in 1997, every umpire hired by Major League Baseball has come through the Minor League Baseball Umpire Development system.
