I am excited to announce that the 2020 Barnstable LL season is fast approaching!  We had a very successful 2019, teams are picked for 2020, and we will need umpires to help facilitate what appears to be another great season!  Last year a great umpire, trainer, mentor, and friend facilitated our training.  Ron Musk will not be with us this year.  I will be handling the classroom and field training.  There will be a few changes this year because I would like to get umpires more games.  As of now, I do not know which Major’s umpires are returning so I do not know how many slots will be backfilled.  I am opening the training to 13YO’s and up that includes ANY adults who would like to work games.  We will no longer be using umpires to work the scoreboard.  That position will become a volunteer position until playoffs start.  

Training will be at the Barnstable Police Station on February 25, 26, and 27 from 6-9 PM.  There will be no exceptions!  Training will consist of one day of rules training, one day of field position training, and on the last day there will be an exam.  There will also be at least one day of field training.  This will most likely be held at Barnstable High School.  The final selection of umpires will be based on the culmination of attendance, classroom participation and understanding, test results, and field training.  Last year I attended many games and worked with umpires on the field that will continue this year.

Last year we supplied shirts and hats for all minor league umpires and uniforms for major league umpires.  We will still be providing hats and shirts but no uniforms.  The minor league umpires will get hats and shirts and they can wear khaki pants.  There will be no shorts or elastic waist pants.  The umpires will always have on a belt!  Umpires will always show up with an athletic supporter and a cup in case they need to be a plate umpire.  The major league umpires will continue to wear red shirts and their grey pants.  This year umpires at the majors will be integrated into working the plate (only on games where I am working).

Please consider working with us as a Barnstable LL 2020 Umpire!  It’s a great learning experience and can be a continued source of fun and money for years to come!

Thank you,

Jon Bisceglia
