A thing I appreciate from baseball umps is being open to a plate meeting to discuss a rule and also willing to overturn their original call based on rules. Also when we have two blues being willing to let the other blue pow wow with them and overturn their call. Most do both of these things very well. Also I absolutely adore the very professional kid umps. Like some HS kid has mastered the craft and talks like an adult and is confident in his calls. Incredible people.

There are so many weird rules that it just takes time. Biggest ones that get you in trouble as an umpire are obstruction plays because you are going to have an argument whatever you call
I don’t think we’ve had an infield fly called correctly in the last 3 years. Also half the blues aren’t aware that a bounced pitch gloved and resulting in a swinging strike 3 is still an uncaught ball and the runner can try for first.
