ELLINGTON Little League: Umpire's View

Behind the Plate

Our umpires have one of the best seats in the house when it comes to baseball. They are right in the middle of the action and also get to interact with the players. Sometimes however the great work that they do is not fully recognized by the players, coaches and by yes YOU the fans.

Our umpires do a great job in objectively calling each pitch or play as they see it. That split second judgement call needs to be RESPECTED when and after it is made. Our crews will not get every call, every time just like we don't get our lives right 100% of the time.

Please support all of our umpires, especially our youth umpires who are building their knowledge through experience.

We encourage anyone that is interested in learning the umpiring trade to ask an "ump", coach or league represeantative and they'd be glad to point you to the proper person.
