Fifty of the umpires currently working in MLB are graduates of the Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School, and we’re proud to pass on that tradition to new students. Through a world-class combination of classroom training and field work with the pros, students will be able to learn the breadth of skills, theory and technique that make an MLB umpire.
